Data Visualisation is great and works really well with small data sets and also for large (imported) data sets mapped to specific line and fill attributes.
However, the attribute mapping drops out each time a new data set is imported or a new record applied to objects. It would be really useful if attributes could be mapped to data and saved as a data/attribute matching set to be applied even if the data is input from a different internal record or a different external (e.g. SQLite) database. That way a set of 20 or so highly specific fill/line/colour/hatch/pattern attributes would not need to be remapped in each file where they occur, but simply reimported into each Vectorworks drawing file.
[Template files or user dataVis sets will not currently hold onto the attributes if the data source is different or even if the record set is accidentally deselected (beware!)]

This is my wish.🙂
