Ted Walsh Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Am trying to label my plants using the ID Label tool to give the quantity and ID (or Botanical name although this may be too long where space is tight) While the quantity field is fine the ID filed is never found and appears as 'Fieldname?' no matter what ID style I use. Does it matter that there is no ID field in the 'Select a field to specify' list. Any help very gratefully received as I am up against a very fast approaching deadline!

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted September 18, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 18, 2003 In VWL 10, you -don't- use the ID label tool to label plants anymore, as they are built-in to the VWL 10 plant. You should select the plant you want to label, look at the Info Palette, and set the Tag Display to either "Right" or "Left". The plant tag (as defined in the Plant Definition) will be displayed, and you can move it around with the control point. Quote Link to comment
Ted Walsh Posted September 18, 2003 Author Share Posted September 18, 2003 Robert, thanks this works fine except that the lines pointing to the plants are so long that they start off at the edge of the drawing instead of being beside the plant. (Drawing scaled at 1/1000) Thanks Ted Quote Link to comment
