michaelmarsh Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Greetings. I have used Vectorworks on a Mac for many years and just installed Vectorworks on my home PC. There is one issue that is driving me crazy... When I draw as-built plans on the Mac I can start a polyline I can click and drag in the proper direction and then just type in the dimension. On the PC as soon as I hit a number it changes my view. Is there a way to turn this feature off so that I don't have to hit tab before typing the dimension? Thanks, MM Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 It's just a setting. Look in Window > Data Bar Options… In the second group you probably want to check "Allow numeric keypad entry for instant data bar activation" Quote Link to comment
michaelmarsh Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Thank you! That is a huge quality of life improvement. Do you happen to know if there is a way to export all of my settings from the Mac computer and import them into the PC, or is that not possible? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Good question. You might try making a template file (.sta) and bringing that over. If you open that file it should have all the document settings. Quote Link to comment
michaelmarsh Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Great I'll give it a shot. Thank you, Sir! Quote Link to comment
