J.cole Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Hello All, I am curious how you all are producing motor layout stickers using VW? After designing a rig the Hoist worksheet is great for collecting all my hoist info needed X,Y's-Motor type-etc; so what is the most efficient way to transfer this info onto a sticker that also displays the corresponding motor symbol? Can this all be done within VW? Quote Link to comment

Wesley Burrows Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I would imagine it would be generating a worksheet in Vectorworks with the info you want, exporting a CSV delimited version of it. Then use Microsoft Word mail merge (or similar), with that CSV as the data source. And format how the labels look/what size label. Quote Link to comment

Not quite, I'd like to fully automate the process of producing layout stickers. As of now I use a template I created in Microsoft Word which works fine for smaller layouts but is time consuming. I have been turned onto a few possible ways of doing so I'm going to give them a try, ill keep ya posted! Quote Link to comment
SCParker Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I create a worksheet, export into csv file. then I use the avery.com website to import the csv and match an avery label. Not automated, but I get to fidget with the outcome along the way. 1 Quote Link to comment
