hihosilvey Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hello, Long time CC user...first time poster.... When I try and create a new device not in the list ( Make - New, Model - New) It defaults to a virtual device. If I select Physical device it will not let me select OK to build it. I've added all the info (H,W,D, RU, Power, Weight). Any tips? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted April 29, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hello @hihosilvey, I am not able to reproduce your issue. Could you tell me which service pack of VW 2020 are you using? Also, could you make a screenshot of the device builder with the device physical data visible? Thanks, Nikolay Zhelyazkov Quote Link to comment
hihosilvey Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hello Nikolay, Thanks for getting back. I'm currently on VW2020 SP3.1. I've attached 2 screenshots. One is when I add a new device not in the database. It comes up as virtual first and will let me press the OK button to make a device. The second is then I switch it to physical. I add all the physical attributes I need, but it will not let me press OK to make a device. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted April 29, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hello @hihosilvey, The Power and Weight of the device have to be nonnegative in order to create a physical device. I suppose that this is preventing you from creating the device. If I am not wrong when you press OK the focus of the dialog should be set to the Power, pointing you that this value is invalid.

hihosilvey Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Nikolay, I apolojize, I forgot to add that info. However, even with that info filled in it doesn't allow me to press OK. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted April 29, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hello @hihosilvey, Okay, seems like we are not supporting imperial units in the dialog and it counts them as invalid input. I will log in a bug about that. In the meantime, if you write numbers only as the values for Width, Height and Depth you will be able to create the device.

hihosilvey Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 That I can do. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

Along the lines of Metric vs Imperial units.... Are there any plans to create an imperial ConnectCAD template that could accompany the metric template? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted May 13, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 13, 2020 We could do that. It wouldn't be anything very exciting - just set the drawing units to feet and inches and set a suitable grid size probably 1/4 inch. Quote Link to comment

Something as simple as that would be great to have included with ConnectCAD so users can hop right into either template that works for their project.
