hihosilvey Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hello, Can someone walk me thru how to get the bubbles on the end of arrow connections to show the page info that the other end of the connection is on? Every connectCAD I've used had this feature and it seems like the process has changed with the VW integration? I've attached a pic of an old schematic built in an older connectCAD. Thanks.

So it would read <layer> <device> <socket>. Let me check. On thing to bear in mind is that pagination is very much a matter of how you present your document in terms of sheet layers and viewports. So the design layer name isn't that helpful. We are looking at better way to do this. So yes there will be changes. Conrad Quote Link to comment
hihosilvey Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Thanks for the reply. In the older version I would make a separate design layer for each page of schematic I had. When I had all the schematics sorted out I would then assign those via a viewport to a matching sheet layer page so the arrow labels would be correct. Is there a current way to get those appended layer names now? Quote Link to comment

hihosilvey Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Ok. If we can get that could go on the list that would be great. It's a big one for me at least. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted May 18, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hang on... layer names are shown for cross-layer arrow connections (see screen shot). Isn't that what you are looking for? C Quote Link to comment
hihosilvey Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Yes! How can I do that? I used to just change the design layer for the device to make that happen and it would include all the arrow connections. When I try to do that now, everything selects on the devices except for the arrow connections. I can select the arrow connection by itself, but when I change the layer it changes BOTH sides of the arrow connection. Quote Link to comment
