TomKen Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 In Vectorworks 2020 when I select multiple sheets to print the order gets reversed. In the attached image on the left is a list of sheets 1 to 5 when I select them and send them to the publish list on the right the order is reversed from 5 to 1. This means I have to select each sheet one a time to get them in the correct order. Not a problem for a small project but most of my projects have 70 to 100 sheets. Anybody have an idea what is causing this? 1 Quote Link to comment
TKA Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 you can activate "by name" order by clicking the "name" header, you should see little arrow on the right hand side of the header 1 Quote Link to comment
TomKen Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 Clicking on the name button did reorder them for me. But I would still like to know why it is reversing the order of the drawings. This was not the case in previous versions of VW. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I just tried and it is not reversing order for me here. VW2020 SP2, Mac OS.15. What happens if you create a new file and add 5 blank sheet layers (Create 1 and duplicate 4 times)? Do those show reversed? If not, it is something with your file or your template file. If they do show reverses, check your printer drivers and see if there is something there set to print backwards. The printer driver should not have anything to do with the Publish, but you never know. Quote Link to comment
TKA Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Is this 2020 native or from previous versions of VW? Just wondering if something is "lost in translation". Quote Link to comment
TomKen Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Pat, If you look at the image in my post you can see that the first thing I did was to start a new document with five blank sheets. I did this to see if it was an issue with my file. I'm working on a Window's 7 machine, I opened the same file on a Mac and we didn't have the same issue. Quote Link to comment
BizGoz Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Has anyone resolved this? Also working in Windows, VVS 2020 and it only starter to happen when I upgraded to 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment
Frederic_Vbc Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I have the same problem. Impossible to print in the desire order tough because it reverse it automatically when I hit Publish button. Win 10 pro V2020 sp2 Australia. ( Btw this update is a nightmare, crash 10 times a day. I spend half of the day hitting Ctrl+S) Quote Link to comment
Tal Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Same Problem... Added Sheets one by one in revers order solved the problem notice the sheet# on the right side column is equivalent to the order you add them - This will be the order of the sheets in the generated PDF Hope by next SP problem will be solved...

Tom Gibson 123 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 We have discovered that if you individually transfer the sheets over to publish in the order that you want then they do not automatically reverse. This is long winded and annoying but only result so far. We contacted Vectorworks Service Select who said they have no record of this being a problem. Quote Link to comment

I am doing what you are doing and it is annoying. I sent Premier VW Service and email. Edited March 3, 2020 by leecalisti Quote Link to comment
TomKen Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 What? No record? That is not true Nina in this thread said it is a known issue and they are working on it. Quote Link to comment
Administrator JuanP Posted March 3, 2020 Administrator Share Posted March 3, 2020 It was most likely an oversight from our support specialist. My apologies. On the other hand, this issue has been fixed in SP3. Release date mid-March. 😉 4 Quote Link to comment

_James Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I still have this problem when I select the 'most recent issue' button. Running VW2021 SP3.1 on MacOS Big Sur. Even if I sort by name or sheet number, when issuing one merged file of all the sheets, the order reverses again when I select 'Publish': Screen Recording 2021-04-22 at 11.22.59.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment
nahekul Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 @_James Same issue is happening with us. Publishing most recent issues will reverse the order. This is on macOS Catalina, and Vectorworks 2021 SP3.1 Quote Link to comment
Tom Klaber Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Its funny - this has been fixed for us - but I can see the macro running. It happens fast - but it moves over in reverse order then a second command runs and puts them back in the correct order. Maybe just a band-aid, but maybe for whatever reason something is preventing that corrective command. Quote Link to comment
