gummidge Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'm trying to make a key for electrical symbols which will show the symbol, calculate the number in a drawing and give the symbol name. Ive got as far as creating a worksheet which effectively does this but without the symbol graphic showing. Is it possible to import the symbol image into the spreadsheet and match up with data? Or is there an easier way of doing all this? Any help would be appreciated. Using VW 2010 Fundamentals Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 maybe Vectorworks Inc, can help out. I do not know a way to show the symbol graphic in a worksheet. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Regrettably, you can't get a symbol into a worksheet field. There was a recent discussion about this here: http://techboard.nemetschek.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=28913&Number=141419#Post141419 hth mk Quote Link to comment
gummidge Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks all for your help. Took a look at the recent discussion, very helpful. Quote Link to comment
gummidge Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) I have one question that is not answered in the recent thread. If the Worksheet is to be be used by various colleagues who will set up there own layers and classes, which I do not have control over, I cannot use classes or layers as part of the equation. Ive noticed that you are able to use visibility? Ive have been using the below equation to try to count an electrical symbol? but the visibility doesn't seem to be working? =COUNT((S='50w Fixed Downlighter') & (V)) Any help would be appreciated Edited December 14, 2010 by gummidge Quote Link to comment
