konst Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hi , is there someone who could help me with editing tags..???...In the attached image i would like to edit the tag so text could fit. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Boh Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Assuming it’s a styled tag find the style in the RM and right click edit. In the dialogue that pops up go down to edit tag layout (can’t remember the actual wording but it is something like that). Edit the geometry and text as required. It looks like you shld be able to make the “sqk” text length longer as well as the rounded rectangle. Close out of the edit dialogues and see uf the tags look better. Repeat process as necessary until you get it looking good. Quote Link to comment
konst Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 @Boh thanks for your response....i ve already done this but the right click doesnt help a lot as edit and properties dont let you change the size and text size ... Quote Link to comment
Boh Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Apologies @konst I thought it was a data tag. I’m not familiar with the tag/label. I don’t suppose changing the doc units to sqkm and round to just one decimal place would help? 1 Quote Link to comment

Pat Stanford Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 konst where are you located? I think the Tag/Label object is probably part of a localization and likely provided by the local distributor. You probably need to contact their tech support or find a local forum for the localized version to get the answer you are looking for. 2 Quote Link to comment
konst Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 @Pat Stanford hi....well I couldn't know that...isn't it a part of the software...????...why localization could matter...????....I am from Greece working in Saudi Arabia and Middle East...i can't imagine how localization interferes in the software....apparently there is no way to change the geometry or the text size of this tag.... thanks anyway Pat..

Pat Stanford Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 In many parts of the world the local distributor makes special tools and objects to meet the demands of the local market. These objects are not included in the "International" (read as USA) version of VW. This means that most of us have never seen these objects or tools. The only way to get help with them is to contact the distributor or find a local group who also has the same version as you. Hope that explains it. Even if it does not really make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment
konst Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 I found this topic in vector works help ....but I can't figure it out....it looks like it's not very correct...something is missing...it's very weird though that there is no way to change the geometry https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2017/eng/VW2017_Guide/Irrigation/Editing_Tag_Label_Symbol_Definitions.htm thanks a lot Pat Quote Link to comment
konst Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 @Pat Stanford ...hI...I finally found the solution to my problem......i open a new drawing and i insert a tag symbol component that i can edit geometry and text. Then i export this to libraries and use it in my future drawings....it took me sometime but its done.... 1 Quote Link to comment
