Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted April 8, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 8, 2004 Are you using PIO-based or symbol-based titleblocks? Quote Link to comment
martyn Posted April 9, 2004 Author Share Posted April 9, 2004 We have been using the Issue Manager to control our sheets naming conventions which has been working well. However when we export drawings to ACAD, the sheet specific data disappears and is replaced by the default sheet info which is fairly useless. Given that we unfortunately have to converse with ACAD based construction companies, is there a way around this problem. Is this a recognised problem or limitation and is it the intention to fix it in a new version. Many thanks, Martyn. Quote Link to comment
martyn Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 We are using symbol based blocks. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted April 13, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 13, 2004 What version of VWA? Quote Link to comment
martyn Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 10.5.1 on a MAC. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted April 13, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 13, 2004 Martyn, I've looked at the basic symbol export/import. It looks like with 10.5 the proper symbol-field information is being exported. Can you put together a small sample file that will demonstrate this problem and email it to me? randerson@nemetschek.net Quote Link to comment
martyn Posted April 15, 2004 Author Share Posted April 15, 2004 Thanks Robert, I've sent you the file as requested. Martyn Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted April 15, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 15, 2004 Martyn, as you've mentioned under separate email, the people using this have modified the plug-in and the workflow. Do they still see the same problem when they use the stock (unmodified) Issue Manager? Quote Link to comment
martyn Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 Hi Robert, Sorry for the delay in getting back. No the problem only occurs with the customised plug-in. The client needs to use the customised plug-in however because the standard one does not conform to their office standards. This should not afffect the export feature in this way, should it? Kind regards, Martyn Quote Link to comment
martyn Posted May 11, 2004 Author Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi Robert, Do you have any more thoughts on this issue? Many thanks, Martyn. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted May 11, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 11, 2004 Martyn, since this is about a "customized" plug-in, it's really a VectorScript programmming issue and not a user issue. Am I correct on this? How exactly was the plug-in "customized"? Quote Link to comment
martyn Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi Robert, Yes you are right, perhaps I should now start speaking to the Vector scripot people. The plug-in was simply customised by changing the names of the fields so they echoed what is on the drawing label. Do you communicate with the Vectorscript guys or do I need to send the file to them. Many thanks, Martyn. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted May 13, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 13, 2004 Were the field names changed using the "alternate name" field in the Edit Plug-in command? Quote Link to comment
