bjoerka Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hi, as the topic says - the Info palette is not working directly after importing a dwg file as a referenced file. The buttons for advanced properties layer and classes are not responding. Some parts of the info palette are grayed out... Closing the info palette and reopening solves the problem. Also clicking with the right mouse button on the drawing and choosing "edit properties" brings the info palette back to work. Is that a known issue? I tried this with several dwg files...

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 29, 2013 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 29, 2013 I do not see this same behavior with a number of tested DWGs. Are all DWG files doing this for you or only one/a few? If it is happening only with one or a few DWG files, make sure to contact tech@vectorworks.net with those files and we can have a look. Otherwise, you may want to backup and reset your preferences with Vectorworks closed: http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/1099/Resetting+Vectorworks+Preferences Quote Link to comment
bjoerka Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hi Jim. I?ll try a few more files and respond what?s happening. Best, Bj?rn Quote Link to comment
bjoerka Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 I have been testing a few more from different creators and the behaviour ist still the same. After importing (not referenced) and activating an element, the info palette is greyed out. I?ll zip some of the files and send it to you directly. Best, Bj?rn Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted November 18, 2013 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 18, 2013 Got it, checking now. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted November 18, 2013 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 18, 2013 Using this procedure to bring the objects in after importing into a new blank file resolved the issue during troubleshooting: http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/790/Layer+Import Quote Link to comment
