Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted November 24, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 24, 2003 I doubt that the ID info is lost, it's just not being displayed. Select your stakes and, in the Shape pane of the Object Info palette, set the "Label Reference" property to one of the choices that includes the ID. Quote Link to comment
alan Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 Tried that and it will not let me change any of the parameters until after the process is finished then it gives the ID as zero if I alter it in the object info palettet. Is there a particular format for the ID. I've tried altering it in the text file to no avail. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted November 24, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 24, 2003 The ID is required to be an integer. Quote Link to comment
alan Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 Many thanks, that has solved it. Now my only problem is to re-order my survey data to take the text ID and put it at the end of each line. Quote Link to comment
