tlee Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 I think I've found a serious problem with 9.5.1. I often use the "Custom Selection..." command, especially when I have an architectural drawings with many classes. It appears that I cannot (by using Custom Selection) isolate objects that belong to a class with a name that has one or more "-" (dash) characters! I thought it was a problem with my new drawing. But when I go back to an old drawing that I knew for sure there was no problem or corruption, the bug persisted. Please look into this and find a fix. Best Regards, Terence Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Bruce Ferguson Posted May 2, 2002 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 2, 2002 Yes, this is a known bug that is only on Windows. To workaround this, if you want to select class 'A-B-C', for example, then choose Create Script instead of Execute Immediately. Select class ‘A’ on the criteria dialog, then edit the script, changing ‘A’ to ‘A-B-C’. Quote Link to comment
tlee Posted May 3, 2002 Author Share Posted May 3, 2002 Thanks for the reply Bruce. But can we expect a fix any time soon? I enjoy using "Custom Selection..." because it is easy to use and convenient when I need to isolate a group of objects belonging to a particular class "quickly". Writing a script and edit it afterwards for every time I use the command (when isolating by class) is not my idea of quick. (I mind as well use "Class Option" - "Active Only".)

Matthew Giampapa Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Chris, This is the same bug as mentioned higher up in this thread. It will be fixed with the other instances. The only recourse I can offer you in the case of Worksheets is to use 9.5.0 instead. Matthew GiampapaNNA Technical Support Quote Link to comment
