SeanR Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I have started to use the Georeferencing tools in VW 2020. I have followed this thread which had some good information. https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/topic/66659-gis-stake/ I am able to geolocate my site and place stakes and they have the correct eastings and northings. What I then do is 'Set the user origin to match the Georeferencing coordinate system', so that my user coordinates and eastings and northings match. When I do that all appears fine, until I place a plant into the drawing. The plants don't appear where I place them, but a very long way away from my site. When I 'set user origin to internal origin' my origin changes back to what it was previously and plants get placed in the drawing at the position I placed them. I'm not sure if it is a problem with a georeferencing setting somewhere or a bug. Anyone able to provide some assistance? Attached some screenshots for reference. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Vlado Posted December 4, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hi @SeanR, this sounds like a known problem of Vectorworks 2020 SP2. The plant tool misbehaves when the user origin is changed. can you confirm that it works correctly if you don't change the user origin? a fix for the issue i'm thinking of will be released very soon.

loretta.at.large Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) I'm having a similar problem with the plant tool. I had to set the user origin to 0, 0 to get the plants to show up where I clicked. Edited December 13, 2019 by loretta.at.large 1 Quote Link to comment
