ali ba Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hi all, my basic tool bar is missing so when i try and go to window - palette and click the basic tool bar it just wont load or the tool sets, all the other load but just not these. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but the program is not even located in the control panel but i can still work with vectorworks without these palette's? Weird vectorworks 2012 Ali Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 31, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 31, 2014 If you go to Tools > Workspaces and switch to another workspace, do you then see the palette? If so, (or even if not, most times) you can usually resolve the issue in all your workspaces via these steps: http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/1099/Resetting+Vectorworks+Preferences Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 31, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 31, 2014 If you no longer have a Tools menu, you can switch back to your regular workspace with File > Workspaces, if resetting the preferences doesn't default you back to the correct workspace. (Which it should.) Quote Link to comment
Jonzr Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hey, same problem! Basic tool set has just gone away. Poof. I had even saved my palette positions and everything. It's taking a break, which means VW is now a worthless tool. (Like me...) I attempted File - Workspaces, but Workspaces doesn't show up under File. Hmm... Are the lengthier instructions above going to fix this? I have also been wondering why/when VW decided that Attributes, Object Info, and Navigation changed so I now have to hover over them to get the information or change dimensions. Annoying. Is this a setting I can change? Many thanks. Quote Link to comment
E|FA Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 1. Window menu->Palettes->Basic (should have a checkmark. It's near the bottom in my Workspace) 2. Tools menu->Workspaces-> Edit Current Workspace 3. As far as I know, saving palette positions doesn't do anything other than restoring locations after a crash. There is no related "put palettes back to saved position" command. Quote Link to comment
