Jed Bradshaw Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Is there a way to make Screen Plane the default for all of the "2D" stuff I draw so I don't have to change it in the OIP? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
GWS Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 If there is I haven't found it. I wish the plane selection would stay as selected by the user and not have a mind of it's own. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 There is a pull down menu in the View Bar at the top of the drawing window that can be set to Screen Plane or Layer Plane. When set to Screen Plane, all 2D objects will be drawn as screen plane objects. The setting is saved with the document, but you could save it as part of your template file. If you want it to be saved for new blank documents, create a document named Default.sta in your User folder User:You:Library:Application Support:Vectorworks:2011:Libraries:Default:Templates Quote Link to comment
GWS Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) I find that after selecting the screen plane and then selecting, for instance, the mirror tool the working plane is automatically selected and I then have to reselect the screen plane again. This happens with other tools such as the rotate tool. Is there a way of stopping VW from auto-selecting the working plane. It also happens when inserting PIOs such as bolts etc when the ground plane is auto-selected no matter in what order I do it. Edited December 23, 2010 by GWS Quote Link to comment
go2greece Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 thats a nice one from AIGIOS VASSILIS thanks peter Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I find that the pulldown is often gray. OIP is only option, and it switches itself back to Layer after several actions in the drawing. Maybe using 3d tools causes the switch? I never tried to track it down. Anyone solve this? -B Quote Link to comment
GWS Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 It's the 'switching back' that gets me. It seems to do it sometimes when looking at different views in a working plane, suddenly it switches to the ground plane mode, which confusing and irritating. If anyone has an answer to this I'd also much appreciate it. Quote Link to comment
