amarx Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I am working with a master file and a few other files that are using the master as a reference. Suddenly, and for seemingly no reason the reference will shift location and have a completly different origin. This causes all of my viewports to be wrong! Very very frustrating! Please can someone help. I am using VW 2012 with SP2. Quote Link to comment
espie Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I have had a similar problem. The master file has randomly shifted location, so when I reload the references (including survey file with correct location), the content of the master file is stranded far, far away in space. I have an entire drawing set of sheets in the master file, and now the viewports on every single sheet are empty and must be recreated. This is absolutely unacceptable performance from Vectorworks. If anyone can help, I'll be most grateful. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

Christiaan Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I've had this too. I love workgroup referencing so much. Quote Link to comment
shorter Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Are any of you, by chance, importing dwg data into any of the files directly? Quote Link to comment

Kevin McAllister Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Importing DWG files directly often causes a double origin problem. I can imagine it would affect Workgroup References too. It usually shows up when I use the Cinema 4D command and things show up in Cinema 4D off to one side even though they appear centred in Vectorworks. Just like moving the origin, which you should never do, importing a DWG directly into a working file is not good workflow. Import it into a clean file first and copy/paste or reference it in.
