Hi There,Working on a BIM project I found it very annoying that I could not add IFC data as default to symbol definitions. So I wrote a tool to do that. You select a symbol, add ifc data to that symbol instance, choose the command "Set Ifc data as Sym Default" and the IFC is copied to the Symbol definition.Just as I finished the tool (I mean literally that very moment!) I see a message coming in about the release of VW 2012 SP3, having that feature built in. On the bright side, my command also…See More
Gerard Jonker replied to Thor Walter Andersen's discussion 'Exporting DWG from viewports'"Hi Thor,
In that case you have to stop using View ports and work, "old style", on one detail per Design Layer. I see no other possibility.
Sorry,
Gerard"
Gerard Jonker replied to Thor Walter Andersen's discussion 'Exporting DWG from viewports'"Hi Donald,
What we sometimes want is to isolate the information that is shown in the Viewport.
When you "Export Viewports as 2D graphics in Model Space", the whole Design Layers is still exported, too.
What would be great: "Convert…"
Gerard Jonker replied to Thor Walter Andersen's discussion 'Exporting DWG from viewports'"Hi Thor,
No, there is no way to avoid that. Either export Design Layers, one by one, or accept these blocks.
The problem with AutoCAD is that they don't have Layers. The have classes. They call the classes "layers", but that is…"
Gerard Jonker replied to Sam Pardee's discussion 'Problem with moving axis/origin when exporting to DWG'"Hi Sam,
Found the problem:
If the User origin is set to anything other then (0,0) the reported behavior is reproduced every time!
Kind regards,
Gerard Jonker"
Gerard Jonker replied to Sam Pardee's discussion 'Problem with moving axis/origin when exporting to DWG'"Hi Sam,
I tried to reproduce this. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I couldn't.
I did see something funny though, Vectorworks giving the file a full spin prior to exporting the DWG:

Gerard Jonker commented on JIHOON KIM's blog post 'Problem Lauching VW2011 on MAC OS .'"Hi Jihoon,
I assume your license number starts with an "E6....".
Try again in a few hours. We had similar problems last week, turned out to be a server at Nemetschek being down. Your problem may get solved as late as Monday evening.
Once…"
Gerard Jonker replied to Sam Pardee's discussion 'Problem with moving axis/origin when exporting to DWG'"Hi Sam,
The Axis object should still have the same coordinates. Please check that. When importing the DWG, VW tries to centre the drawing on your page, thus moving the User origin. However, the coordinates of the individual objects should still be…"
Gerard Jonker replied to Mark Koutko's discussion 'Alignment problem in VW 2011'"Aaaargh, this is terrible. The 2D alignment tool (cmd =) , doesn't work on screen view anymore, it aligns in top view. You don't see anything happening, but it does mess up your model!!!!!
The disappearing of the objects after 3D align is…"
Gerard Jonker commented on Frank Lipari's blog post 'Vectorworks 2011 Reviews!'"Actually the links are there. Just go over the words "here" and you'll see the underlining indicating a link.
One of the features I liked very much: Textstyle in Vectorworks, a dream come true!: http://wp.me/pSFRk-2B"
Gerard Jonker replied to Vanessa Picone's discussion 'File Size - Exported PDF's'"Hi Gabriel,
Very true, that is yet another way to create a PDF.
You reminded me of one more thing to say: Open the PDF you created using any of the above methods in Acrobat Professional and choose Save as... it will reduce the file size by removing…"
Gerard Jonker replied to Vanessa Picone's discussion 'File Size - Exported PDF's'"Hi Vanessa,
Sorry to notice your post so lately.
There are four ways to create a PDF and they all differ in outcome.
-Print and then Safe as PDF using a standard Printer driver
-Export to PDF (Quarz only) Only available on Apple Macintosh, if…"
