C.M. Robinson Posted January 24, 2000 Share Posted January 24, 2000 I, too, have a need for this function. Generally what I am doing in this situation is to pull the created window out of the wall and duplicate, then slide one copy back into place and locate the other copy where I need it. C.

doug shaffer Posted January 25, 2000 Author Share Posted January 25, 2000 Hi - Is it possible to match the settings of VW Architect doors and windows that have been placed in a file? I would like to be able to create a door or window using the VW Architect palettes, modify it using the Object Info pallette, and then be able to place other windows or doors that have identical characteristics WITHOUT CREATING A SYMBOL. I guess I am looking for an 'eye-dropper' like tool that will pick up all of the attributes of a particular window/door (including height, width, # mullions, etc.) thanks, ------------------ d. s h a f f e r a r c h i t e c t k c m o u s a Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 25, 2000 Share Posted January 25, 2000 Unfortunately at this time there is no tool to perform the function you desire without either creating a symbol or copying a symbol that you have changed already. This tool request has been added to the "wish" list for future versions. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted February 7, 2000 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 7, 2000 Here is a generalized "transfer record" script. It is not "official" and is unsupported. Use it in good health, but at your own risk. Unlike the eyedropper tool, this one doesn't do any nifty sound effects ;-) { Procedure xferrec -- transfers record information from a picked "master" object to a picked "slave" object. Attempts to match fields based on field names in the "master" object. This will match and transfer as many fields as it can, so partial matches are OK. Copyright ? 1999 Diehl Graphsoft, Inc.
