Symbol Insertion Class

[Edward Williams]

When I insert a plumbing symbol it is assigned to the "none" class. When I assign it to my "plumbing fixture" class in the "object Info palette" it fails to move to that class. The object info palette indicates it to be assigned to the "plumbing fixture" class, but it actually remains assigned to the "none" class. Help.

A symbol (or a group) is a "container object" that means that the container can have a different class than the objects inside the container.

There is an option (that can be hidden) to assign the class to all the objects in the symbol instead of just the container. It looks like you have turned that option off.

Go to Vectorworks Preferences, Session tab and click on the Reset Saved Settings button. Make sure the "Always do" option is selected and click OK.

The next time you change the class of the symbol you should get a dialog box asking what you want to change the class of.
