Re: Vectorworks 2011 —Release note by Kevin McAllister @ Yesterday at 11:21 PM

Looks like a good step forward. I would assume you could select all the circles and push/pull them together. I would love to see some bigger changes to the UI. Things that keep your focus in the drawing/3D model. As an example, how about the mode ba

Vincent, I'm not interested in creating a texture, I want to edit the color of the yellow vinyl siding texture that comes with VW's. Some time ago I exported/converted this texture to a PNG image and edited the color with Adobe Photoshop but I can't

Re: What the competition is doing.... by Bob-H @ Yesterday at 07:25 PM

I think Autodesk's TrueDWG is the equivalent of Microsoft Windows' Genuine Advantage. Both of them are packaged to give consumer assurance, but can become a nagging presence after a while. Some of the DWG editors use Open Design Alliance's library f

How the fonts behave is defined by the pen attributes settings. From the manual - Quote:For text font and style attributes, set the Pen Style to Solid to use the text attributes set when the title block was created. For text color, select the desire

I have been following the guide for creating a custom title block but as soon as I use it in the Sheet Border tool all the Font Styles become uniform. In the title block symbol I created some are bold, some condensed, etc but this all goes away when

That is usually the case but it is also usually a case of AC users not being able to use AC, it is always a lovely feeling to push their noses into this fact and especially so when doing this with a free version of a competing dwg app :))! And if you

my two cents .. I just bought a 27" iMac i7 (refurb) and I love the screen size ... except everyone is forgeting to mention that the higher resolution makes all the icons, pallets, and menu bar items be smaller and you have to have good eyesight

I've got Dassault's Draftsight running on a Windows partition. It's free, and behaves just like Autocad. I can't imagine paying $4000 for a DWG editor, when I can get a free one in Draftsight - and there will be a Mac version soon. And I've seen som

Just makes me wonder if this ad campaign was actually planned, or just something thrown up quickly due to the Autocad Mac announcement.

Marc - The way I've done this in the past was to create 3D Polys shaped to mimic the tabs - and then to apply tab/Austrian textures. This is FAR from being a niceley-modeled approach, but might work for you.
