Keylight Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hello, This probably applies to all plug-in objects. I'm looking to reset the default object properties for a plug-in object. Specifically, is there a way to change the soft goods tool so that it defaults to Pipe and Drape with a specific set of options and text fields? Right now, the tool defaults to Curtain object which I use much less. Unfortunately, this is my template file, so starting a new drawing isn't an option. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted April 2, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 2, 2019 Go to Tools menu, Plug-ins submenu, Plug-in Manager command. You can drill down and set your preferred defaults: Quote Link to comment
Keylight Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) I tried this, and it doesn't seem to work. When I exit the plug-in manager and try the tool again, it still reverts back to curtain. Edited April 2, 2019 by Keylight Quote Link to comment
Keylight Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 I am using 2019 SP3 if that makes any difference. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted April 2, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 2, 2019 @Keylight The suggestion @Robert Anderson will work for new documents. To fix your template file activate the Soft Goods tool and then in the modebar click the wrench icon. This will open up the properties dialog where you can set the default options. Click OK and now the tool will place objects with these defaults. This settings button should be available for most tools. Quote Link to comment
