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

Or VW could have the option of toggling layers so they never make it to LW in the first place. Much easier! Using limits in this way is a workaround at best. I can very easily see someone printing the paperwork w/o a limit and ending up with over 10

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

Re: best iMac for VW2010 by domer1322 @ Yesterday at 12:51 PM

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

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.
