Andrew Overton Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Apologies if this has been addressed and I looked over it. I noticed what may be a bug. If I move any device that has "Links" the label changes to default text. Has anyone else experienced this? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted October 9, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hi Andrew, As of Vectorworks 2021 the Link object is deprecated. ConnectCAD is now fully compatible with Vectorworks Project Sharing and this is now the recommended way for multiple users to work together on the same file. You find lots of info on Project Sharing in the Vectorworks Help. In 2022 the Link mode of the Connect tool will also be removed. Links though ingenious proved to be almost impossible to maintain properly and in essence duplicated the functionality of Project Sharing. So for that reason it was decided to relegate them to Legacy status. Using Project Sharing the best way is to divide your project by layers and allow each designer to check out and work on separate layers. The Connect tool in arrow mode lets you connect between layers. Hope that clarifies things. Best regards Conrad Quote Link to comment
Andrew Overton Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hi Conrad, I appreciate your response. What tool should I use in place of this when I just want a flag with a label, without any link functionality? That is what I have previously used these for the most. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted October 9, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hi Andrew, Use an External to indicate a connection outside your system. Externals are all part of one device named <EXT> that represents the outside world. Hope that helps. Conrad Quote Link to comment
