Michael Henson Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I would love to see a way to have "pages" tool similar to spaces tool. This would allow for automatic data to insert on a signal feather when using the connect tool in arrow mode. So when someone has to reference a connection that flows to another page there is page information on it based on the titling of the "pages" tool. Maybe the "pages" tool could also autogenerate viewports with page names. The big deal is having page numbers on the feather for installers to reference. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted March 18, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hi Michael Yes that would make life easier I agree. The thing about pagination is that it depends a lot on viewports and how you set them up. I feel like these should be more like automated viewport annotations. But a deeper question is: do you still deliver drawings to installers as paper printouts? and how long is that going to last? Conrad Quote Link to comment
Michael Henson Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 I would like to provide printouts in a folder that stays near the rack for others that may need to quickly troubleshoot. Yes installers still use paper printouts during install and then redline onsite changes for as-builts. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted March 18, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hmmm! Food for thought... I'm adding an enhancement request for that. Quote Link to comment
Kevin Krautle Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I am adding on to this request, As I like creating viewports to get a drawing into printable pages as well. Quote Link to comment
