PROBLEM:
Vectorworks can't properly locate referenced DWG onto a model
PROCESS:
We reference DWG files created by our consultants (as is normal for any architects workflow)
- First, we make sure all files have the same (0,0,) point
- Then, we import these DWGs as design layers in a VWX file, so we can append class names for better organisation.
- Finally, we Reference this VWX file and put them in our Project File.
MANEFESTATION:
On one terminal (where were did the imports), the file is in the correct location.
However, in the shared project file, other terminals open this file and the position is wrong.
[See enclosed screenshots]
Also, if there was permission issue, causing us to re-save this project file, we also lose the correctly referenced location.
This is frustrating and wonder if others have experienced similar issues.
