domer1322 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I ask for help with one annoyance I've never figured out: When using multiple layers, and with the "Unified View" ON, if I switch from one active layer to make another layer active, the view 'center' changes. For instance, if I'm in 'plan/top' view and looking at the front door in the center of my monitor, then I switch active layers, the view location changes to put the back door in the center of my monitor. Oddly, If I immediately switch to other layers (without changing the view), the back door remains in the same position, in the center of my monitor. I know I can stop this annoyance by turning 'Unified View' off, but since I'm always going back and forth to 3D views, this isn't practical. Can anyone give me a clue as to how to avoid this annoyance ? I suspect it has something to do with picking the right origin '0' point on all layers, but i can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Not sure if I'm following exactly, but check Vectorworks Preferences… > Display Tab > Center on objects after view change If that is checked the selected object will always be center when switching views. mk Quote Link to comment
domer1322 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 thanks ... but that's not the problem. Anyone else have a suggestion ? (this problem has nothing to do with having any object selected (or not) ) Also, I am not trying to get the geometric center of all the objects in the file. I simply want the center of the view to be the same when I switch between layers. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 How about View Menu, Unified View Options. Uncheck the box labeled Center View on Activated Layer. Quote Link to comment
