Reference Marker Type/Config

[PEsca]

Hi there,

 

I am new to Vectorworks. I have done some training on an online course but I am having two issues with Reference Markers.

 

When I click on the Reference Marker Tool, it only lets me left click once, to insert the reference marker (I was expecting to have to click once to place and a second time to rotate) - so I have been unable to rotate it as a result.

 

Also, once inserted, in the object info palette there is no "Type" field so I cannot change the style of the marker (currently just a circle divided by a line for dwg no and sheet no with no arrow). Do I need to set something up for this to appear in object info or is it now hidden somewhere else?

 

Any help would be great - thanks!

What version of VW? Major changes to Reference markers between VW2020 and VW2021.

Thanks for the quick response!!  I have VW2021 - I suppose this could be the reason then? It doesn't look like The app-help pages have been updated to reflect any changes: https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2018/eng/VW2018_Guide/Annotation/Creating_Reference_Markers.htm

 

I don't suppose you know how I rotate the reference markers and get them to appear with an arrow do you (on VW2021)? Or know of any online resource which might help me figure it out?!

Looks like you're on the wrong version of the help system.  Try:
