0 Alan H Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 +1 seems silly this can't be done, having to add this manually takes a lot of time Quote Link to comment
0 Chris D Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I have a feeling this one is coming Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 This is supported in v2013. Quote Link to comment
0 Markus Barrera-Kolb Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Yes, it does seem it is supported, but it turns out it's not as useful as it could be! The text only renders cleanly in Wireframe or, if it's the sole rendering mode in a viewport, Hidden Line. For our elevation viewports to be of use to us, we need Final Quality Renderworks, since the shadows are what actually make the drawing read well. However, under the Renderworks mode, the ID tags show up as a pixellated mess, even when you bump up the sheet layer & viewport resolution (not to mention that this makes for much slower output). So it seems the only option is to utilize two stacked viewports: a Final Quality Renderworks VP below, and a strictly Hidden Line VP above. Why the ID tags go to hell once you combine the two in one VP is beyond me, and is a pain in the rear... Does this square with other people's findings?

0 Kalen Jones Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I posted a similar query a couple weeks ago, haven't received any response, and then found this thread. I'm having the same issue, albeit in VW 2015. I can't seem to find any settings that make any difference. If you zoom in to 500% and leave it there while it renders the text is fairly clear, i.e., the pixelation is small enough that it prints legibly. But that reduces the functionality of being able to work on other sheets while rendering is happening. Edited October 29, 2014 by Kalen Jones Quote Link to comment

Or do you mean when looking at a design layer? Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Matt Panzer Posted October 30, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 30, 2014 Jim, Strangely enough, the zoom level on the sheet layer effects the text quality in the sheet layer viewport. In cases that I need this, I typically zoom to 800% before rendering the viewport. I bug listed this awhile back... Quote Link to comment

0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 30, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 30, 2014 Looks like it has been IDed and will be fixed, but it was submitted a good many years ago and hadn't been processed until recently. I will keep a close eye on it. Quote Link to comment
