Thomas Wagensommerer Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Until now it was possible to replace a Dash Style. How is this operation done with Line Types? Edited September 24, 2016 by Thomas Wagensommerer Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted February 19, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 19, 2014 You can either: Edit the line type in the resource browser, which will push the changes made to all objects that use that line type in that document. Or you can import the line type resource into the document with the same name as the line type you wish to replace, then choose to replace the original during the resource import process rather than rename the imported one.

Thomas Wagensommerer Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thank you for your prompt answer. If I have many similar Line Types, how do I reduce the number? Quote Link to comment
Thomas Wagensommerer Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Are there any workarounds? Are there Vectorscripts that restore this functionality? Why was this functionality removed? Will it be restored? If yes when? Quote Link to comment
Thomas Wagensommerer Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 May I humbly and honestly ask how to reduce the number of similar items in the resource browser? Obviously there is a way. Or not? Does anybody have a vectorscript for this task? The situation reminds me of this: Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I really miss this functionality. When deleting a linetype I often find myself wanting to make the objects that were using it listen to a different linetype that already exists. Since the replacement linetype already exists, neither of those workarounds do the job. (It's kind of like merging linetypes in a way). Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 This should work like the deletion of classes. This should work for all resources. Quote Link to comment
Thomas Wagensommerer Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Basic functionality still missing... Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted November 12, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 12, 2014 We are taking another look at this behavior and the overall behavior of deleting/replacing resources such as: Gradients Hatches Images Line Types Record Formats Renderworks Backgrounds Renderworks Styles Renderworks Textures Sketch Styles Slab Styles Text Styles Tiles Wall Styles Symbols Quote Link to comment
