#VECTORWORKS VIEWPORT PROFESSIONAL#

This allows you to focus on your drawing without having to refer back to a palette or display on another part of the interface. In a wide-reaching interface overhaul, VectorWorks 2008 debuts a new floating data bar (also known as a heads-up display) that shows the dimensions and angles of your drawing in a floating display that moves with your cursor. A VectorWorks screen showing three externally referenced files. VectorWorks Designer combines all of the modules into one huge package. RenderWorks, a high-end rendering module, can be added to and used with any VectorWorks module. VectorWorks Machine Design is aimed at mechanical engineers. VectorWorks Spotlight targets the entertainment industry, including theater, event planning, and exhibition. VectorWorks Landmark is designed for landscape architecture and planning. VectorWorks Architect, aimed at architects and similar design professionals, has loads of specialized tools such as space planning, door, wall, and window tools. VectorWorks Fundamentals includes most of the program’s core 2-D and 3-D CAD functions, but leaves out advanced rendering capabilities as well as many profession-specific features. The slate of professionally targeted modules in the latest version is the same as in years past, but for each module, numerous enhancements make the program more user-friendly and powerful.

VectorWorks comprises six modules aimed at specific types of professional users. VectorWorks 2008 improves on and expands this already impressive array of capabilities. Combining a powerful 2-D drafting environment with integrated 3-D modeling functionality, VectorWorks can take your project from planning to simple drafting to complex, photorealistic rendering. Definitely post back if this is not the issue.VectorWorks has been one of the premiere CAD (computer-aided design) programs for the Macintosh for many years. The Class Properties dialog also has a class override feature which allows edit of class attributes displayed in the VP (does not affect class settings elsewhere in the drawing). The OIP class button for the ViewPort has a similar arrangement to control class visibility of objects shown in the vp.Īs with the layers, changing these visibility settings does not affect the objects in the design layers or in other viewports. It only controls display of objects in this VP. Changing these settings does not affect anything on the design layers or other viewports. For each layer in the list, click in the appropriate column to show/hide/gray that design layer.ĥ. A click in any column will display an icon indicating the setting for that design layer.Ĥ. Left hand column is for Visible, middle column is Invisible, right column is gray.Ĭ. To the right of the list are 3 columns (unlabeled, sorry).ī. The dialog displays a list of all design layers in the drawing file.Ī. In the OIP click the Layers button. This opens the Viewport Layer Properties dialog.ģ. Navigate to your sheet layer and select the viewport.Ģ. Try adjusting the layer visibility settings for your Sheet Layer Viewport.ġ. A guess, but perhaps your viewport is set to display (some of) the design layers as gray instead of completely visible.
