Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted February 3, 2006 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 3, 2006 For now, you'll have to do this manually. "Luck" isn't what's required to see this happen. "Time" and "Priority" are. ;-) Quote Link to comment
michaelcobb Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 I have a problem with the id tags/schedule when one of the windows gets deleted (as requested by a client for example). I'd like the ID tags to reorder themselves so there isn't a missing entry. Robert I think we talked about this at the last SF vworks gathering. Any luck? -Michael Cobb -------------------- Mike mcobb@studioecesis.com Quote Link to comment
michaelcobb Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 Are you saying that you don't have the time and this is no longer a priority? Bummer. I guess it didn't get done that weekend. Sorry to hear it. I guess you have better things to do with your time. Looking forward to future improvements. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted February 15, 2006 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 15, 2006 Michael, I was a little "stung" by your last message so last weekend I set out to see if this functionality could in fact be done in a weekend. The answer is, "not quite", but in a weekend-evening plus half a week day it can. Later today there will be posted to the third-party plugin site a menu command called "Re-sequence Openings..." which will allow resequencing of door or window IDs. This command will: -work with VW Architect 12; -allow you to set a starting number; -work either on the active layer or all layers; -remove "gaps" in door or window sequences; -maintain the existing order of IDs; -automatically "pad" IDs with leading zeroes for proper sort order. The functionality will likely show up as a standard feature in future versions of VectorWorks Architect. Quote Link to comment
Jeffrey W Ouellette Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Mike, I believe you should get down and kiss Robert's feet for making such an effort. Robert, You're a prince for going above and beyond in making such a timely effort to this issue. Quote Link to comment
michaelcobb Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Wow. That sounds awesome. I'm sorry if I stung you. I'm not much of a diplomat. When I was finally able to meet you in person at the Vectorworks meeting in SF and you told me you were going to do it this weeekend I took you at your word and got REALLY excited. It did sound like a lot of work to me. Next time, if the request is gratuitous you can tell me to get lost. I can be pretty heavy with the requests (see other upcoming postings) and I am sure your job has other fish to fry. Having said this I want you to know how much this change means to me. Any program can come up with new bells and whistles but I think this kind of basic improvement to an existing feature is/willbe what sets Vectorworks apart. The doors and windows are soooo much better in 12. Thanks!!!! Quote Link to comment
Mark McCay-Moran Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Robert, could you give me a better hint as to where I might find this extremely valuable plug-in? Thanks, mmm Quote Link to comment

michaelcobb Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Thanks for the new menu item Robert! I haven't used it yet but I'm looking forward to the day I do my next window or door schedule. -Mike Quote Link to comment
