CUSTOM SCHEDULES


Recommended Posts

if I understand you correctly, you are wondering if you can adjust the column widths, format the cells for the fonts, and merge cells together. The answer is you can do all these. If you move your cursor between two columns headings your cursor will change to a double-headed arrow. Use this to altar the column widths. to format cells right click on the cell, choose Format Cells…, and then choose the formatting for the font and border.

if you have a copy of the Vectorworks Essentials Tutorial Manual, you will find the last chapter has information on creating worksheets and formatting them.

This post uses the Macintosh file paths. Very similar file paths are used on Windows. Search the help for User Folder if you have difficulty finding them.  Note that the User:Library folder is hidden by default on the Mac.

 

The default formatting for the schedules that show up in the Choose Schedule menu command come from the following file:

 

Applications:Vectorworks 2017:Libraries:Defaults:Reports_Schedules:Architectural Reports.vwx

 

You can just edit that file, but then you risk losing your changes when an update to VW is released or if you have to reinstall.

 

Better is to duplicate the file to the following path.

 

User:Library:Application Support:Vectorworks:2017:Libraries:Defaults:Reports_Schedules:MySchedules.vws

 

You can actually name the file anything you want and edit the formats as you see fit to meet your needs. 

 

You need to restart VW in order for it to see the new file as part of the defaults.

 

You will now get two versions of each schedule showing followed by the name of the file they are located in. If you don't want the original versions you can just move the Architectural Reports.vwx file out of the Applications Folder and restart VW.

 

Let us know if you need more info.
