Layers with a different scale

[tismacfan2]

Is there a reason I can't see layers of different scale at the same time?

If you uncheck unified view you should be able to see them

There is a Sub Setting in Unified View (double click the Icon),

which "ignore Layers of different scale" which will hide these

when activated.

 

So you can have Unified View activated to see all Layers.

(I use to have all Layers at same scale though)

 

Unified View itself is basically to control if other Layers will follow

the View Navigations of the Active Layer.

If UV off, the non-active Layers will just stay where they are when

navigating the view .....

I have Vectorworks 2023. Where do I find the Unified View settings?

Unified View is on by default in VW2023. If you need to change it you have to do it on a file by file basis. 

 

Document Preferences:Legacy 2D pane. Turn on Legacy 2D, adjust the Unified View setting. Turn Legacy 2D back off if you don't need it.

 

There is a menu command script to do these steps here:

I have Vectorworks 2023. Is there a reason I can't see layers of different scale at the same time?

Both Layer & Class options are set at 'show,. snaps, modify others'

 

I cannot find the 'Unified view command'

to de select the 'ignore Layers of  command'

 

Thanks

I have found 'the 'ignore Layers of  command'. it is now deselected

 

i still cannot see layers with a different scale

 

Thanks

Unified View is now on by default. Vectorworks is updating the hybrid view technology, so Screen Plane objects have been partially deprecated.

 

If you want the VW2022 functionality you can turn it on for any document by going to Document Preferences:Legacy 2D pane.  Turn on Legacy 2D and then you can turn off Unified View. If you don't need any of the other functions you can then turn Legacy 2D back off.

Having the same, or similar issue in VW 2023:  Several drawing files with layers at multiple scales only shows objects drawn on the active layer; layers and classes are both set to "Show/Snap/Modify Others", toggling between "Show layers with different scale" on or off changes nothing; views are set to Top/Plan.  This problem appears to occur with any new drawing file created new with VW 2023, but isn't happening with a file created in a previous version and opened in 2023.

Make sure unified view is turned off.

 

 

Just tried it in 2023 and just turning off unified view allowed me to see layers of different scales.

Thanks  michael k, worked like a charm.  I think that was the only setting I didn't try
