gerry_dup1 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 When i click and open a Vectorworks 10.5 drawing it opens as a viewer, which i cannot work on, until i open the VW programme and then click the drawing. Is there a way to open a drawing that automatically allows me to work on it. Also when i open the VW programme i always get a blank sheet, which ii don't always want. Can i get rid of this or change the format? Gerry Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted September 8, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 8, 2004 Unless you use it, I'd delete the VectorWorks Viewer program from your hard drive (you can always re-install it). Vectorworks will always use any document in the Templates folder named "VectorWorks Default" as the opening default file. So you can customize what you want and save it as a named template.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Andrew Bell@NV Posted September 8, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 8, 2004 The system for determining what program runs when you click on a file (in Explorer, Finder, etc.) is different for each operating system. In Mac OS X, Do a Get Info on one of the files, modify the "Open With" setting to use the full VW program, and select the Change All option so it applies to all VW documents. In Windows, Explorer has the Tools->Folder Options menu command, select the file type tab, and change the .MCD file type to open the full VW program. Quote Link to comment
