cmcastleman Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi, My ID Tags are not editable after they are attached to a door/window. Some of them are flipped incorrectly and are making the drawing look messy. Any suggestions will help. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 13, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 13, 2018 What version of Vectorworks is this? Under File > Document Settings > Document Preferences > Display, is Adjust Flipped Text checked? If you change the state of this checkbox, what happens to the ID labels? When you say they are uneditable, are you even unable to select them? or do they select but not allow changes? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If by not editable you mean you can't see the blue handles to move the ID Tags, then make the selection tool active and make sure you are not in the first mode: "Disabled Interactive Scaling Mode". (The U key is the short cut that changes modes) If you see the handles but are unable to select and move them, make sure your class options are set to Show/Snap/Modify others. If you can see the handles, your class options are set correctly but you still can't select them: Restart VW. 1 Quote Link to comment
cmcastleman Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I've attached an image of what the door tags look like. I would like to be able to rotate them freely of the doors themselves, while still having them connected to the schedule. I've selected one of the doors to show that I am able to move the text, but not rotate it. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Go to File > Document Settings > Document Preferences > Display Tab. Check Adjust Flipped Text. Quote Link to comment
cmcastleman Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 @michaelkUnfortunately this has already been done. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Very strange. If that is checked you shouldn't see upside down text. Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Is the entire viewport rotated on the sheet layer? Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 @cmcastleman Have a look at the pic attached. Are you looking to have all text in a horiztontal postion? If so...make sure your windows and doors have the "Make ID Horizontal" button checked. Make sure to update viewports etc. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Matt Panzer Posted March 16, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 16, 2018 Check the Advanced Properties of the Viewport and make sure the "Adjust Flipped Text" option is selected there. Viewports have control over this setting independent from the document preference. Quote Link to comment
