Daniel Dickman Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Is it possible to create a report that shows which devices are connected to a particular device? The specific example I am thinking of is for network switches. I would like to create a report that tells me which device is plugged into which port on the network switch. The challenge here is that VW/ConnectCAD will need to ignore the passive devices such as Data Term Panels that are between the switch and the end devices. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted January 8, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 8, 2021 Hi Daniel, This is something that Vectorworks native reports can't do I think. A script would be the way accomplish this. I'm collecting up these case to refer them to the team working on reports. And I'll try and find time to rustle up a script. Meanwhile do take a look at Marionette - it's a great way to automate stuff without the pain of writing code. Happy New Year! Conrad Quote Link to comment
Callum Walker Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Hi all, not to resurrect an old thread. But did anyone devise a solution to this? I can probably look at a report filter or something but thought I'd also ask here! Cheers Cal Quote Link to comment
spettitt Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I might have a bash at a script for this when I get a sec, I'd be interested in it as well. 1 Quote Link to comment
Callum Walker Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Hi all, I had a play with this today. As hoped it seems you can create a connections report, duplicate it and name it something else (in my case "Switch patching") and then edit that criteria so it includes "Field Value" "Dst_Dev_Name" "=" "*Name of whatever device you care about*" This is direction specific, which works for some devices like a power distribution unit. But for something like a vision matrix with outputs and inputs may mean you want to use OR functions instead of ALL functions to show destination or source devices. But this seems to be a start! 1 Quote Link to comment
