Windoor VW2017 Copy and Apply

[Josh NZ]

I have made changes to the external trim of a window.

I wish to apply these changes to the other windows in the job.

 

I select the window, go into the Copy and Apply windoor setting palette.

The copy from "selected windoor object" is not selectable.

The other two options are from file default settings which is not applicable, the other option is from windoor symbol which is blank.

 

Ideas?

Hi, If you have already selected the window you would only have the option to select the ones you need to copy your window item to. I think you need to now select which ones you want to apply the settings to on the right side.

Sent Julian from Ozcad this a few weeks ago, sounds like it is going to be fixed in SP2.

[Josh NZ]

Sadly I'm running SP2 and it's still occurring.

Just downloading the update now, I'll test at my end as well and follow up the email with Julian.

[Josh NZ]

Great, thanks for the update Itchy.

Still persistent with SP2 for me, have emailed Julian and linked in this thread.

I don't know if this is what is going on with your Windoor issues, but occasionally I get similar blank drop-down selectors like you are experiencing — here is a recent example of when it happened to me using the Heliodon tool:

It happens to me with a variety of tools which all appear to share the same style of pull-down selector, and the only way I can fix it is to Reset my Vectorworks User Preferences Folder

Just a thought - perhaps that's what you're experiencing with Windoor, maybe it's a Vw problem not directly related to Windoor itself.

I had this in the past when I allowed myself to not "display default content"

(As far as remember although I copied all VW ressources into my Workspace Folder (?))

 

Also I have that when I do not concentrate when "purging" my files, as Heliodon Symbol as well

as it's ressources (same as for Image Props) will be selected for purging, although used.

Maybe because all these Symbols are used/inserted as PlugIns only in the file.

I have heard back from Ozcad, there was a bug preventing this from working when one object was selected, and it now doesn't work with multiple objects as it became too difficult for it to figure out what the first object was. The workflow now if you want to copy is to select one, copy to defaults, select the others, copy from defaults.

 

Megabits (Bill & Jeremy) should now have a copy of  Windoor v22.0.4

[Josh NZ]

Thanks for that Itchy, will give that a try.

For users of Vectorworks 2017 I would recommend watching the following video produced by OzCAD. With the introduction of Window Styles in Vectorworks 2017 the workflows with Windows, Doors and WinDoors has great new advantages. It seems to me the object-to-object copy/apply method has (by my reckoning) been superseded.
