This is how I do it.  If was something I did all the time I'd write a script for it.

 

Or - to be honest - I'd do it this way for a while and then I'd write a script for it while procrastinating on something else.  In any case, the script would do exactly the same thing.  Read a value from the position of the symbol and write that value to a record field which could be displayed in the label and in a worksheet.  This method just uses a worksheet to read and write (copy/paste).

 

I'll attach a file and a video showing how the worksheets work.  There's a weird trick when copying and pasting the values.

@michaelk Very informative.  I appreciate you taking the time.  I will watch this over and over.

 

Questions:

 

1. The 3D symbol that represents the hoist...it looks oddly similar to the one used in the Chain Hoist Tool, is this something you scripted or is it built into Vectorworks

 

2. I seem to be having a fair amount of trouble creating worksheets to work as yours works.  What's the correct method in doing so?

 

Thank you much.
