Patrick Fritsch Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hi, i've searched the forum but can't find anything on this.. Is there a way to have the window ID-Tag create a new unique sequential number automatically, instead of having to re-enter the settings dialog every time. I usually start inserting a bunch of identical windows at once so doing this manual numbering is dull and slow. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted May 10, 2012 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hi Yes - you just need to check the Auto-increment ID field... I'm away from Vectorworks at the moment, but I think when you create the first ID with the ID Label tool, the dialog opens and you enter your choice of prefix and first number. Then click Options and make sure Auto-increment is checked. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment
Farookey Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hi... Yes, works with ID Label Tool, but not through the Window Settings... Just confirming... :-) Quote Link to comment
ottoLejeune Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Was this ever addressed? Was there ever a way found out how to sequentially label windows: 1. As you insert them and 2. After they have been inserted. I see this happening in Revit and would LOVE to see this feature in VW. And what happens when a door or window is removed… can the tags reshuffle? Answers would be good. Quote Link to comment
dtheory Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 As far as I can tell, windows can be labeled sequentially using the ID Label tool after a window has been placed in the drawing, and then the auto-increment setting has to be checked. Also, no way to re-number windows automatically if one is deleted or added, once again it's through the ID Label tool, manually clicking on each window. If anyone knows different... let us all in on the secret.. Quote Link to comment
J Lucas Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 A few years ago I found a script written (I think) by Wes Gardner that did this. But I searched for it more recently and could not find it. Wes, is that script still available? Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 It's hard to fathom why Window>Auto-Numbering is still missing. Spotlight Lighting Instruments have had this for over a century. Already. Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Hi all, Sorry, it wasn't me...that doesn't mean there isn't a script out there??? Wes Quote Link to comment
