Uli Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Maybe I overlooked it but is there a simple way to rename multiple classes e.g. Door_123_green Door_123_red Door_123_black to Building-Door-123-green Building-Door-123-red Building-Door-123-black With the class and layer mapping I was not able to achieve this or is that the right tool for that job? Than I have to take a closer look. 2 Quote Link to comment

This one is coming as well! Just have to have the Creative team do up the icons, the stock ones were a bit too cartoony and clashed badly, I'm expecting them just before the holidays.

0 Kevin Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Marissa, thank you for your help. My experience with CAD started with MiniCad which then became Vectorworks. But since upgrading to 2016/2017, I feel like I need to take a college course to figure out these new features. I have no idea what Marionette is or what it does. Is your suggestion simple, or am I going to have to spend days to understand Marionette? I am at a loss to understand why "upgrading software" means that I lose useful functionallity. I was able to go to my Menu Bar and select "prefix classes" and the whole process took less than a minute. Now that I have "upgraded", that menu command is gone. It makes no sense to me.

0 Markvl Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 It certainly is a command I'd like to have. So close yet so far. Quote Link to comment

I'm becoming increasingly frustrated in the same way; the VW2018 title block fiasco has cost me a ton of time undoing what it has 'fixed,' and it still takes me twice as long to enter my data. And there are still basic functions missing from the Resource Manager that were simple parts of the older Resource Browser (showing the currently active symbol, for one that should be simple...) Sure, it's come a long way since my first copy of VW10, but these issues are why I've hardly been in a hurry to invest in any of the 'new' add-on's, i.e. Braceworks, at least until they've had a year or two to work out the bugs....

Question
Uli
Maybe I overlooked it but is there a simple way to rename multiple classes e.g.
Door_123_green
Door_123_red
Door_123_black
to
Building-Door-123-green
Building-Door-123-red
Building-Door-123-black
With the class and layer mapping I was not able to achieve this or is that the right tool for that job? Than I have to take a closer look.
