elc Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 hello, how would I move the connection from device B to input 1 on device D without re-drawing the connection? from B to C (same layer) works without any problems. To D it doesn't. 🤷♂️ thanks for any hints. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted March 12, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 12, 2022 Hello @elc, You can use Show/Snap/Modify Others for Layer Options in order to be able to directly drag and drop the arrow from one device to another across layers. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov Quote Link to comment
elc Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 Hi @Nikolay Zhelyazkov, that's the thing. I can't do that. The circuit doesn't recognice the new device on a different layer. (Tried changing layers too.) Have you tried it yourself? Three devices, three layers moving from one device to another with the move command? So, is this a bug or a limitation of VW POI? Thanks, George Sorry, not the best screencast. Should have labled the devices etc, but I hope you see the issue anyway. Untitled.mov Quote Link to comment

So the workaround for now would be to redraw the arrow. We will see what we can do to improve this. Thanks for your feedback! 🙂 Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted March 14, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 14, 2022 @elc Hi George Just out of interest. On a personal scale of 1 - 10 how would you rate the importance of making this work? Is it worth some loss of performance / slower update? Conrad Quote Link to comment

We will see what we can do to improve this. the workaround I am trying to use is to move the object temporarily to the layer of my new circuit destination. move the circuit and then move the object back. But I haven't had time to properly test, if that breaks other connections or misaligns intra-schematic connections. For my current drawings this seems to work. 🙂 (But thanks for looking into it.) edit: btw. re-drawing is not a real option, as this means losing additional data like cable number, cable type and possibly signal type. 44 minutes ago, Conrad Preen said: Just out of interest.

As that is what ConnectCAD is used for: Drawing devices, circuits and possibly moving them around. 🤷♂️ Edited March 14, 2022 by elc additional info 1 Quote Link to comment
