anyone used circuiting tool?


Recommended Posts

One of the main reasons for upgrading was the abiltiy to use the circuiting tool. When I use it, however, I am able to draw the circuits only to lose all control over VA9. I can't save, our even quit after using the circuiting tool. I have to force quit. What a dissapointment. I have been happy with the program overall until this bug. Anyone have any luck with this?

Please send your file directly to me (klinzey@nemetschek.net) and I will take a look at it. Does the dialogue appear after your first click? Where are your electrical symbols located? on the active layer? Do you have electrical panels in the document? What are their names?

Is this the right email address? It came back as unknown.

I think that the problem was the objects that I was trying to circuit were imported from ACAD and then I converted them to symbols. Instead, I replaced the ACAD symbols with VW outlets and so forth. I am having a problem with printing however and I am getting type 11 crash errors. I am having to save file as a VW 8 file before I print. Any advice?

In order for the circuiting tools to work, the circuiting record needs to be attached to objects that VW sees as symbols or objects, it will fail to work on groups or simple lines. If you are still having problems printing email tech@nemetschek.net with your problem and the file.
