Speedy Gonzales Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 In VWA 11, I was able to create a VectorScript keyboard shortcut to reverse the background screen from black to white and vice versa. For the life of me, I can't recall how I did it. All I know is that it created a plug-in. I tried copying that plug-in into VWA 12, and it works! However, I now want to create another shortcut that allows me to toggle "zoom line thickness" on and off. I didn't see this covered in the Help menu, but maybe I'm missing something. Any step-by-step help is appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Speedy - VectorBits free plug-in Toggle Preferences provides a quick and easy way to toggle most of the VectorWorks and Document Preferences. (Mac only) http://www.vectorbits.com/ There are also a couple of options for some of the preferences at VectorDepot http://www.vectordepot.com/ Quote Link to comment
Speedy Gonzales Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 Yes, I knew about those. Thanks. I guess I wasn't clear as I am transitioning from VWA 11 to 12. I need the plug-ins or VectorScript shortcuts to add to the menu or keyboard shortcuts for Vectorworks 12. I appreciate the quick response and hope that someone can still help, or that Vectorbits or VectoreDepot will update their offerings for VW12. Quote Link to comment
Speedy Gonzales Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 By the way, does Nemetschek offer an Avitar symbol with VW 12 to update our profiles with? And while we're on it, can we insert our own graphic image? If so, how is it done? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 The VW 11 ones work equally well in VW 12. All you have to do is copy them to the VW 12 plug-ins folder and then add them to your workspace. [ 01-05-2006, 10:02 PM: Message edited by: mike m oz ] Quote Link to comment
Speedy Gonzales Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 Thanks. I attempted that shortly after and was rewarding with great success. However, I'm still trying to recall how one writes a vectorscript plug-in for future shortcuts. In the meantime, I want to acknowledge fellow Vectorworks user Hugo Mujica Covarrubias for exchanging plug-ins with me. I can now toggle zoom line thickness. What a great support group you all are! Thanks again. Quote Link to comment
