SophieGW Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi, Im new to the Vectorworks forum and I have a question about the vector works standard libraries. I am doing an overhaul of our vectorworks library and workflow. I would like to remove the standard template and classes list that pop up when you start a new document / add new classes through the organisation palette. I have favourites for office specific classes and templates but it would be great to only see them in the list rather than all the VW standard ones? Does anyone have a fix for this? Many thanks, Sophie Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted February 22, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 22, 2018 Are you on Mac or Windows? If you go here: Mac: /Applications/Vectorworks 2018/Libraries/Defaults/Templates Windows: \Program Files\Vectorworks 2018\Libraries\Defaults\Templates and here: Mac /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/Vectorworks/2018/Libraries/Defaults/Templates Windows: \Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Nemetschek\Vectorworks\2018\Libraries\Defaults\Templates and delete (or move elsewhere) the .sta files you don't want to see, they shouldn't show up in the list after restarting the application.

SophieGW Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thanks Jim! I am on Mac and that's exactly what I was looking for. I was in Application Support rather that Applications and all the default folders were empty so was scratching my head. I assume it's still best to leave my custom sta. files in: .../Library/Application Support/Vectorworks/2018/Libraries/Defaults/Templates ? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I just put in a presentation abstract to talk about this at the Design Summit in November. Basically if you duplicate the folder structure in the Libraries:Defaults in the Application Folder in either the Workgroup or User folder, you can control the Default Content that will show. To add additional content add a VW file containing the Resources you want to see with a different file name. To replace the existing content, put a file with the same name as what exists in the Application folder and remove the items you don't want. Quote Link to comment
