missing views menu icon

[cfmdecon]

I just tried to click on the views menu icon and it is not displaying - what could cause this?

Thank, Brian

Does the same thing occur after restarting Vectorworks?

Sorry Jim for not getting back with you quickly, but I was called out of town for a few days.

Actually, I am just training on the product and picked up an older tutorial which caused me to expect to see that menu in the lower left hand corner of the screen, when in my version 2011 it is visible elsewhere. Thanks Anyway for your kind response.

Could you help me on another issue. I am having a very difficult time understanding the layers hierarchy. I need theory and understanding concerning the whole class, active layer, design layer, sheet layer, other layers concepts.

Could you point me to a document or video that discusses the hierarchy of each of these and how they relate to each other and how I should work with each. When do I need to change the active layer, design layer, etc..

Thanks, Brian Noyce.

This is a good place to start:

Okay, I just viewed and it was great, I will work on that information. Now, do you have any other information - video about the other types of layers?

Thanks, Brian

Make sure to go through the full Getting Started guide series, Fundamentals and then your specific industry, they cover the majority of what you'll need to know:
