josue Corona Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hello 😄 In vector work is there a way or even a script that turns an object into a existing symbol. For example lets say i have multiple identical object in the design layers. what I do now is converts symbol and then I go and delete the other that are the same but then I have to past the one that I converted to symbol in its place. What I want is just to highlight the others and convert it into the symbol that I already made .  Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 There is already a menu command that does this, under Modify>Convert Quote Link to comment
josue Corona Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 are you talking about the create symbol? thanks for your reply.  Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Modify>Convert>Replace with symbol.. Â You have to make one symbol first, then select the objects you want to replace with symbols, then run the command. Quote Link to comment
josue Corona Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 thanks for going more in depth with finding the command, but its weird on my side I don't have it and I already went inside my works space. to try to find it. it is not there thou. Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 @josue Corona, what version and modules of Vectorworks do you have? Possibly, the command is not part of Fundamentals. Quote Link to comment
josue Corona Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 its Fundementals,spotlight, and rendtrworks.renderworks Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I believe you should be able to find the command in the Spotlight workspace but not in Fundamentals. Are you using a localized version? Quote Link to comment
