mk@ODS Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I just downloaded trial for VW 2011 and figured out that 3D alignment works differently compare to my current 2010 version. When I tried to align two objects in front or side view to the top and click CNTR+=, it does not work anymore. You have to use 3D alignment tool and it is works kind of weird. When you use it, these two selected objects disappear from the screen as soon as you click Ok to confirm 3D alignment and you can see them again only when you switch to top view. It is great inconvinience! Another issue, if you have a locus at the object, like I do for all symbols, stored in my current libraries, the symbol now become larger for the locus size and this is also prevents proper alingment as you can not align perfectly at the side where you have locus. As far as I find out, the only way to fix it is too delete locus from all symbols in a library, which is very time-consuming is you have a lot of them. And one more concerning alignment. For some reason for all objects created in previous version of VW, selection mark, which appears around the object when you click on it with selection tool, now it is a few times more then object itself. And the only way to fix it is open Edit Symbol tool and then just exit it. Than selection mark become as it use to be - just the size of the perimeter of the object. BUT, if you have a few thousands symbols in your library, to fix all of them become quite a task! Is there anybody knowshow to fix these problems? I am ceriously concidering upgrading to 2011, but alignment there is a real pain! Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Same alignment problems happening here too with the Mac version. I've got to say... I've had this software with SP1 for less then 12 hours, and I'm convinced it's still in the beta stage. How does this stuff get released with so many bugs? Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Honestly, I think you should wait to upgrade. I'm concerned that this, and the other bugs I've encountered so far, will cause me more wasted time than any productivity increases gained by using 2011. Dear Nemetschek, you have to do better than this when you release new software. Quote Link to comment
mk@ODS Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 I got feedback from other VW forums as well. Yeah, it looks like it is to early to get 2011 upgrade. Too many bugs. Quote Link to comment
LJ TMS Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I concur about both of these issues, very frustrating. I added this thread to the bug submit just in case you hadn't. Hopefully this will be resolved in the next SP. Quote Link to comment
jtml Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Yes indeed. Alignement has to be clear as its the only way to check that complex buildings match the 2d sections. Its very confusing. Cheers Quote Link to comment
LJ TMS Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Well, Service Pack 2 was released and this issue has not been fixed, although it is listed as being resolved. http://www.nemetschek.net/downloads/notes/2011SP2_Notes.php B089695 - Align Distribute does not work as it did in 2010 Quote Link to comment
LJ TMS Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Hopefully this highlights the difference between the 2010 & 2011 Align/Distribute command. Objects were selected, then Align/Distribute, and vertical spacing selected. As you can see in 2010 with objects of various sizes, equal spacing is applied between each object. In 2011, it spaces the center point of each object regardless of object size. Edited December 13, 2010 by ljmunz Quote Link to comment
LJ TMS Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) Just wanted forward along that I submitted a bug report and talked to someone in QA. The bug that was reported fixed in SP2 was a separate issue than the one I described in my last post. Hopefully the "Distribute Spacing" bug should be fixed in the next SP.
