B.Balemi Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I have prob. that has only happened with new version. If you have multiple pages on a sheet layer it now doesnt show the border of the page in between. It only shows a perimeter. Doesnt show the individual page cells. So how do you place logos and where do you line it up? Real pain when a new versions doesnt seem to allow something to no longer work. Any ideas people or is this broken? Does anyone else have this pain. Brendan Quote Link to comment
0 Kevin McAllister Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I believe there is a checkbox to turn this on and off under Page Setup. (Its there in VW 2009, I don't have VW2010 on the machine I'm sitting at so I can't confirm for 2010.) Choose a Sheet Layer in the Navigation Palette, right click and choose Edit, then click Page Setup. This setting is custom for each individual Sheet Layer. KM Quote Link to comment
0 B.Balemi Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 No thats checked. Seems like an imaginary option. As i said worked before but not now. I think it is non existing option that now does not work in 2010. Thanks for reply tho. B Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 The Show Page breaks works for me in VW2010 and sheet layers. When you are in the Page Setup dialog box what does it say for Pages Horizontal and Vertical? Could you have gotten it set up for a larger sheet size than you think? Quote Link to comment
0 B.Balemi Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi Pat Thanks for the reply. Thing is I have opened an older 2009 file.which was fine Only difference is 64 bit windows 7. I have tried all options. Sometimes I regret getting the new versions until 6 months until these sort of things are sorted. Well thats sort of is how I am feeling B Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 What happens if you create a new file? Quote Link to comment
0 B.Balemi Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Thanks for the reply guys. Be assured I have tried everything.and no difference prior to expressing myself here. But I appreciate the interest and suggestions. Hey guess what thou. I opened the exact file on my xp sp2 windows 32 bit laptop and whamo. Shows the individual page cells. Exact file. Wonder if is 64 bit problem, windows 7 problem or graphics card problem?????? Regards B Quote Link to comment
0 mike m oz Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Brendan the options for Show Page Boundary and Show Page Breaks are program wide so if you have set them that way for one file that is the way all files will show when opened up in that instance of Vectorworks. The reason that you can see the page breaks on your laptop will be because you don't have them set to not show for that instance of Vectorworks. If you do have them set to show on your desktop machine and they still don't show then reset Vectorworks Preferences via the Reset button in the bottom LH corner of the Vectorworks Preferences dialog box.

0 B.Balemi Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Thanks Mike Yes thats true but still means Jack. I cant see the page cells. Real baffling. Im thinking sure it one of those cliche things. Damm. Brendan Quote Link to comment
0 VincentCuclair Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Brendan...i don't have access to my VW right now but can it be a setting in the Interactive View Settings..... Quote Link to comment
0 Jonathan Pickup Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) Sorry, Brendan. I posted a reply, then found everyone else had already given you my suggestion. I can't remove this post, so all I can do is edit it. Edited February 27, 2010 by archoncad Quote Link to comment
0 B.Balemi Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Thanks for all the interest everyone. I had tried all these. You know how it is you go through huge mental gymnastics to find out what is not working when it has for years. Even if i changed my interactive view settings to pink this does not change. Cheers for all the help to date. Brendan Quote Link to comment

0 B.Balemi Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Heres the thing. I left it alone after a couple of days. You know how it is. Mike contacted me by email and prompted me to revisit it. I had tried every button check box and slider I though could have that was possibly related. Adjusted the "page boundary opacity" of the Interactive View Settings.... no joy. So I switched to black background bang there they were. Switch back to white bang there it was. Funny way of refreshing the screen but hey finally there. Go figure. still OS thing I believe. No colour pickup for page boundary tho. Still dont really care. Its fixed , I dont know why but it is for now. Thanks for all you interest and help. Cheers Brendan Quote Link to comment
0 JDR Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Go to "Unified View Options ...." in the View menu. Check the "Show page boundary" box in the options dialogue box. The page boundary should appear. This worked for me this week when everything else had failed. Quote Link to comment
0 Itchy Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I have noticed the same issue also, have updated VW to SP3 and just updated my graphics driver but no change, when I change the display background to black they show up, but when I revert back to white they disappear again?

0 dr paaj Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Change the opacity of your Interactive Appearance Settings(VW prefs or Smart cursor settings): General Page boundary set it to 100% Quote Link to comment
0 Itchy Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Seems to work if you set it to 80& or above, not sure of the point of have the option to put it at anything below 80% Quote Link to comment
Question
B.Balemi
I have prob. that has only happened with new version.
If you have multiple pages on a sheet layer it now doesnt show the border of the page in between.
It only shows a perimeter.
Doesnt show the individual page cells.
So how do you place logos and where do you line it up?
Real pain when a new versions doesnt seem to allow something to no longer work.
Any ideas people or is this broken?
Does anyone else have this pain.
Brendan
