B.Howell Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 From my own experience and from reading all these posts, I have a very simple question. Is there a way to convert a file created in VW10 to function as though it were created in VW10.1? I am running VW10.1 with VW10 and VW9 uninstalled. I am operating on Windows XL Pro. I am not experiencing any slowdown problems, but there are things I cannot do in drawings created with VW10 that I can do in a new file with VW10.1. I uninstalled 9 and 10 to see if that would change things but it didn't. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 It should work seamlessly. What type of problems are you having with the file in VW 10.1 ? Quote Link to comment
B.Howell Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 Katie, If I try to plug in a set of stairs in color into an existing drawing I have problems. 1 - they will not show in color eventhough the attributes show in color. 2 - The pen weights are much heavier than they show in class or in attributes. Solid lines go from 3 to 9 or 12, and dotted lines go to solid. If I do exactly the same thing in a new file, the stairs appear as they should. Right color and right line weight. Same class attributes. Same class active. Same class options. Same set of stairs. Same layer scale. In the "existing" drawing I can not get color to show no matter what. It may be something very simple that I am doing wrong. I am still fairly new at this and need all the help I can get. As an aside; with VW10.1, I am now finding all those windows and doors that disappeared before. I had forgotten how many attempts I had made. Now, whenever I open a drawing I hadn't used since installing vw10.1 I find windows. This is not, I repeat, not a complaint. Iam just happy to have the problem behind me, but it is comical to see a series of doors in the middle of a kitchen Thanks Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted March 6, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 6, 2003 Make sure "attributes by class" is turned off for the None class. This is the "Use at Creation" checkbox in the Classes dialog. Quote Link to comment
B.Howell Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 Mr. R. Anderson, Bless You! Worked like a champ. So simple. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted March 6, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 6, 2003 There was a bug that turned attributes by class on for the None class, and it should almost never be so. Consider it an educated guess. Quote Link to comment
