P Retondo Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I have noticed that using the eyedropper tool to apply attributes to walls causes the wall to lose its cavity lines. If I pick up the attributes from a wall, and put them down on the very same wall, its cavities are deleted. Same for any other eyedropper operation with any wall. I haven't noticed this in the past with versions 8 and 9 - is this a new bug? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Bruce Ferguson Posted April 30, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 30, 2003 What version of VW are you using? I tried this on VW 10.1, and I didn't see it happen. What platform are you on? What do you have checked on the eyedropper preferences dialog? Thanks, Quote Link to comment
P Retondo Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 Bruce: My eyedropper preferences are set to select everything except "Record" and "Pick up sets defaults." I tried this in a new document, and found that the problem does not occur until I use the "Wall type" tool. Create a few walls with the regular wall tool, try the eyedropper, and you will not see the problem. Create another wall with the Wall Type tool, and use the eyedropper to transfer its attributes to one of the walls you created previously. Then you will see the problem.

DAFlannery Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 I've had the same problem with the eyedropper tool and wall cavities. I've tried everything I can think of but figured it was a bug. From the lack of response to this topic I guess it is not a widespread problem. Anybody had any luck overcoming this? Quote Link to comment
The Hamma Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I'm having the same problem. VW 10.1.2 on windows 98 Quote Link to comment
The Hamma Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Got it! delete the wall record. Once you do that the tool will work. Quote Link to comment
P Retondo Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 David, fantastic! How did you figure that out? PS: NNA, this is a pretty good clue as to where the bug lies. [ 07-23-2003, 12:43 PM: Message edited by: P Retondo ] Quote Link to comment
