iSymbol-franklin Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) does anyone know how to change page-based symbols into world based symbols? It has to do with units I found out after setting up my symbols some were (info pallet) page based (green text) and the first few are world based (black text) ..... which I do not understand how this is possible. Hopefully someone does Edited October 22, 2013 by iSymbol-franklin Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Edit the Symbol from the Resource Browser and choose Symbol Options from the four options available. In the dialog box that opens at the top there is a section for Units. Select World Based Quote Link to comment
iSymbol-franklin Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I could have thought of this myself ;-) thanks mike! Now only figuring out how this happened in the first place Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Additionally, some of the hatches that ship with Vectorworks are Page Based which I tend to convert over to world. Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 If during a Symbol's creation you set it to Page Based this becomes the default until you reset it back to World Based. Thus you only need to have created one Page Based symbol to get caught out. Quote Link to comment
