| Reported In | Fixed In | Description for Release |
|---|---|---|
| 5.0.0 | 9.0.0a13 | It would be nice if the DXF translator could rescale layers all layer to a size to match a specified layer in the drawing. An instance is: We usually have a drawing title block at 1:1 and in translation it stays at real size in relation to the other layers, so if the rest of the drawing is at 1/8" scale the title block is 96 times smaller than it appeared in MiniCad. |
| 5.0.0b9 | 9.0.0a9 | Linked text exported via DXF converts to rec field default rather than specified value. |
| 6.0 | 9.0.0a18 | would like to printout just what his view is at the time |
| 6.0.1 | 9.0.0a13 | A way MiniCad could translate a DXF saved in Paperspace so one could view the separate paperspace 'drawings' as separate drawings in MC. This is a nice flexibility provided by Autocads Model and Paperspace technique. |
| 6.0.1b3c3 | 9.0.0a11 | DXF out of all fonts and dxf in to new file: The fonts when imported do not maintain the look that it has. Instead they are all substatuted with one font. [FARM_JDW] |
| 7.0.0 | 9.0.0 | Worksheets have inconsistent menu interface: some items are in the worksheet menu, some in the main menus. |
| 7.0.1 | 9.0.0a15 | Grids have problems drawing when zoomed way in. |
| 7.0.1 | 9.0.0a9 | I have just come across a very strange thing in a DWG import-text blocks that have their type size set to -1. Has anyone ever seen this before? I am having a hard time fixing them with minipascal because the GetTextSize(h) procedure reports back a size of 1, not -1, which of course makes sense, since type size can't be negative. In any case, I suspect that this is a bug in the DWG import; obviously(?@!) the text wasnt set to a negative size in the original file. Kevin Pratt Martin E. Rich Architect PC [FARM_JDW] |
| 7.0.3 | 9.0.0a1 | Exporting to DXF, 3D symbols whose z axis is not parallel to the layer's z axis get rotated. |
| 7.0.3 | 9.0.0a1 | This detail from my brotherHere's the way we perceive the problem. When a "truetype to polyline" command is executed, it seems that it will not consider characters whose ASCII code is over 127, or seven bits. Since all accented characters have a code over 127, and we use them a lot, all these characters are lost. Since these characters are often built with a reference to the non accented character ("é" from "e" and "´"), we thought this might be the problem. All references in the font were transformed into actual outlines, but the problem persisted. The problem is not with the actual characters. We tested that, by moving the code for "é" (normally ASCII 233 - 0xe9) to the exclamation mark (ASCII 33 - 0x21) and it worked as expected. The font was produced with Fontographer, Macintosh version 4.1.5 And this that is a worst problem. I sent letters to be cut in metal . It took hours to send via e-mail and the company told me that event if it is polyline they cannot process it, it is to heavy. I noticed that problem earlier. When I write a word in a projet, that I command true type to polyline and extrude the word to make a 3D, If I try to render it , it freezes my computer, it takes hours.I wrote a e-mail to a friend in France that has Vertor Works 8.0 (lucky one I am just an artist and already bouth to versions) it seems he as all the same problems |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0b1 | Test file crashes in DXF export in under low memory conditions. |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a3 | The data/mode bar flicker/redraw several times when switching between a palette and the document on Windows. |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a12 | If you try to open a large plug-in in the Plug-in editor (such as Complex Window.vso, 76k) on Windows, the message that the plug-in is greater than 32k and cannot be opened on the Macintosh appears. When you click OK, the VectorScript editor opens with an empty file. If you click OK, the empty file is saved over the existing plug-in. |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a2 | It seems that the transparency slider in the texture dialog is working backwards. |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0b9 | Exporting trailer information for worksheet cells corrupts the trailer data. The following code was exported from a worksheet where the cell was formatted to have a trailer of " nom." LoadCell(3,3,'=LENGTH/12'); SprdFormat(0,0,'ÌÏ, ',''); The formula cell and database subrows were selected. |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0b9 | Export of worksheets appears to have serious problems. Running exported worksheet VS code in a new document creates a corrupt worksheet. The test file contains a small worksheet which pulls in data from the walls in the document. Export the document as VS and cut/paste the worksheet generation code into script in a clone of the test document (perform a Save As of the document, then delete worksheet and objects). Run the script. The worksheet will be corrupted. Adding new walls and recalculating does not correct the problem. |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0b11 | with 40MB of Ram alocated to VW ( Mac ) when opening certain files VW opens them but doesn't let us see what's inside Low Memory ? |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a3 | Need to change to arrow cursor when displaying a context menu (at least under Windows). |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a7 | The bug file demonstrates stepped shadow artifactes along the oblique surfaces of the sweep, when using RayMaker with ray-traced shadows. It appears to be a LightWorks bug. |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a14 | The Windows worksheet buttons are dashed and unclear to read. (The Descending, Ascending and Sum Icon buttons.) They are unclear until you convert a spreadsheet row into a database row. |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a7 | Epsf files getting extra space for a bounding box which is larger than the past. Customer name sherry long Os8.1 703-471-2900 [This bug is caused by groups of objects being exported in the EPS file. The bounding box of the group node is always increased by the maximum pen thickness (see SetBoxRect in RotUnit.2D.cpp). This code cannot be modified without ramifications in redrawing. It is not likely to be fixed until the 9 development cycle. - TDW 4/7/99] |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0b5 | DXF export with classes as layers should export the class linestyle and objects using it should have linetype set to "bylayer". |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a18 | Alpha channel support for textures brought in from bitmap file formats or alpha channel created from a color in the source image. This would allow textures to mask objects. |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a7 | Export text to DXF as mtext. |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a14 | A very gross scrolling bug shows up with graphics cards that use the NVidia Riva TNT chipset. Cards such as Diamond viper 550, STB Velocity 4400 exhibit this bug. Using the pan tool move the drawing. Resize, then move the drawing. Open the import image dialog. Hit cancel. Try to scroll or pan in many directions. These are the types of actions that have shown this bug. It is a problem with the windows ScrollDC call. I think the fix may be to just scroll using our own method. |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0b1 | I've created a model of a two story residential addition, wherein I have used quite a few simple doors and windows (PIO's) from the AEC palette. I have created two drawing sheets in another part of the file and created a layer link (2D) for each layer to do the working drawings. When I create the layer link everything is fine until I zoom in on the link and the PIO's disappear. If I zoom way out they somehow reappear. They have not plotted.

| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a17 | Customer file represents several Worksheet related bugs. Worksheet with one row and "Database Headers" off and no subrows acts funny. Asserts. Adding rows, turning on headers, works ok, but sometimes the subrows are blank even though the header cells show sum of subrows data. Clicking checkmark icon button on entry palette seems to fix this. [ Some of the worksheets in this document have zero rows. How did this happen? It shouldn't be possible to have no rows in a worksheet. - LAK 6/16/99 ] |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a1 | Move Page in 3D views murders object coordinates. |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a1 | WHEN I TRIM A LINE THE LINE TRIMMED CHANGES TO THE PROPERTIES OF THE CURRENT CLASS. THIS IS NOT GOOD ANY SUGGESTIONS? [See also 70-6057 which reportedly was fixed before 8.0.0; additional problem below info below] It will also go to the active layer(if it's not already). This has always been how the trim tool behaves in MiniCAD too. I consider it a rather serious flaw in the tool because at least 99% of the time I trim something, I want it to stay in the same class and layer as it was. It extremely inefficient to have to change all the attributes back after you trim something - especially if you just trimmed line from several different classes. :-( I'm glad I finally see someone else that sees this as a problem. I thought I was the only one. |
| 8.0.0 | 9.0.0a1 | If a 3D polygon is set to "by class" for the line style, and the class has a dash pattern, then the 3D poly will not be drawn (but will still be selectable). This is causing DXF imports to partially disappear. |
| 8.0.0b10 | 9.0.0b9 | Roofs do not show up in symbols, both in the instance and in the edit symbol mode. |
| 8.0.0b10 | 9.0.0a8 | Use join/combine tool. |
| 8.0.0b10 | 9.0.0b1 | I can not resize with shift key at objects of Circle and Arc. |
| 8.0.0b11 | 9.0.0a2 | Pasting into a drawing does not always set the units such that the objects fit inside kValidCoordRect - objects extend into gray space. see the text in the bug file for more info. |
| 8.0.0b11 | 9.0.0a6 | The following steps should result in the pasted object being on top of the original: 1. Select an object. 2. Move Page. 3. Paste in Place. |
| 8.0.0b11 | 9.0.0a10 | Progress palette needs to use Apple's pretty progress bar on the Mac. |
| 8.0.0b11 | 9.0.0a2 | The progress palette should be a moveable modal dialog instead of a palette like other progress bars on the Mac. |
| 8.0.0b12 | 9.0.0a1 | Ok, this is weird but repeatable.. this only works with an intelliMouse. Redefine the middle button to be a double click. Open a document and create a new texture. From the resource dialog, hit the middle mouse button to open the new texture. Without pressing any buttons move the mouse over the sliders (Transparency and Shininess) you will see the sliders jump to the position of the mouse without any buttons being pressed or held down. Moving the dialog with restore correct operation. Just double clicking with the left mouse button to edit the texture will not make this happen. I know, weird! |
| 8.0.0b12 | 9.0.0b12 | DXF proxy objects are not imported. |
| 8.0.0b12 | 9.0.0a3 | Drawing with the solid objects tools, automatically turn off the snap to grid. |
| 8.0.0b13 | 9.0.0a2 | The grid display is sporadic on solid rendering. Draw a sphere and solid render it. The grid goes away. Drag the sphere over the grid. As the sphere is being rerendered, the grid displays, but only over the area where the sphere was dragged. [Cannot duplicate, e-mailed Mark for further info -- ACB] [Requires a complex object, not specifically a sphere or other solid primitive. -- ACB] |
| 8.0.0b13 | 9.0.0a14 | If the first or last row in a worksheet is a database header, and headers are hidden, using arrow keys to move up or down will not skip that row as it should. |
| 8.0.0b13 | 9.0.0a14 | Worksheet margins entered in a document with metric units, are rounded to strange values. |
| 8.0.0b14 | 9.0.0b1 | Object Info palette RadioButton group box is obscurred by the last RadioButton's label text, on Windows. |
| 8.0.0b14 | 9.0.0a17 | Base Cabinets--a couple of remaining cosmetic bugs Corner cabinet, diagonal front- the doors are not drawing properly with the Surface option. I'd like to see the splash drawn as an additional line across the back (and side if appropriate) of the counter in plan view. corner base cabinet draws the counter edge too thick. It should match the straight base cabs. [fixed previously] The 'carousel' in the corner cabinet should be drawn in dashed lines in plan view. [JAG: fixed in B16.] The 'carousel' in the corner cabinet doesn't need a column in 3D views. (This will never be seen, and simply adds to the polygons needed to render.) [JAG: fixed in B16.] Adjust the base cabinet defaults to be 24" deep and 36" high (this is standard for kitchen cabinets.) [fixed in B16.] Currently, if I have a counter overhang, both the counter edge and the cabinet front are drawn as solid lines in plan. If I'm going to draw the cabinet front, it should be a dashhed line. [fixed] |
| 8.0.0b14 | 9.0.0a15 | Under Windows, worksheet palettes disappear when the application is backgrounded. This is correct for the Macintosh but not for Windows. NOTE: under VW 9, windows works correctly (worksheets do not disappear when app is suspended), but does not work correctly on mac (worksheet is not hidden when app is suspended). [VML] |
| 8.0.0b14 | 9.0.0a18 | The RayMaker rendering mode should not show the grid lines, or should provide a preference for not rendering the grid lines. |
| 8.0.0b14 | 9.0.0a2 | Ctrl-Drag on a 2D object that has thick lines causes trash to be left on the screen. [Fixed for non grouped objects. Still happens with groups. RWM] |
| 8.0.0b15 | 9.0.0b3 | Parametric placement in walls doens't always work right. It doens't always place the object where you dropeed it-- outline shows you one place, click and it appears somewhere else. Very easy for me to duplicate. Does not place parametric correctly when moving from wall to another, always inserts on the origin of the symbol or PIO in the new wall. DWD] |
| 8.0.0b15 | 9.0.0b4 | The trim and offset by distance are not working all the time I have been using the tools with lines and I constantly get errors from the software saying this object can not be trimmed or s a side must be selected to offset. The ease of use of these tools in Minicad 7.03 was a huge selling point from my background experience. |
| 8.0.0b15 | 9.0.0b7 | When converting an object to 3D polygons, textures are not transferred to the newly created polys. |
| 8.0.0b15 | 9.0.0b13 | When the document is set to black and white only, colors are still exported to DXF. |
| 8.0.0b15 | 9.0.0a14 | Worksheet redraw problem when deleting extra columns from a door schedule worksheet. |
| 8.0.0b15 | 9.0.0b1 | The bottom two arcs get drawn with their arcs beyond their bounds |
| 8.0.0b15 | 9.0.0b8 | Imported DXF fonts need to use the extended entity data to decode the name of the font in the style, instead of just showing the font file name. This info should be available in AC2000 files, and some earlier versions. The bold/italic setting for the text style also needs to be read and applied. Also, fonts embedded in mtext need to be put into the font mapping dialog. |
| 8.0.0b15 | 9.0.0b10 | Before we obsolete DoMenuText for good, we need to provide an alternate interface for the WS (worksheet) functionality which is only available from this call. |
| 8.0.0b16 | 9.0.0a1 | Using a Diamond Viper 550 video card in 16-bit mode, causes the tool icons to use slighty off colors. 32-bit mode works fine. |
| 8.0.0b16 | 9.0.0a2 | On Windows, tool tips draw on the data bar and help bar, and object handles draw (and remain) in the rulers. |
| 8.0.0b16 | 9.0.0b4 | The 'Export-Database' brings extra "" (double-quotation) character at top of data files. This brings an error at import menu command on FileMaker Pro. More Info. Please follow this sequence. 1. Create any Record Format 2. Attach Record Format to any symbols 3. Select 'Export-Database' menu command at the 'File' menu. 4. Select 'tab' or 'comma' format. 5. Hit 'OK' button and hit 'Save' button at the file list dialog. 6. Open its data file using any editors, like a 'word pad' 7. the double quotation character is placed at the head of first lines. 8. the 'file Maker Pro' does not import this data file. |
| 8.0.0b16 | 9.0.0a17 | 2d reshape tool if polygon object was not closed, added edge will not shown when use add vertex mode at hide edge corner. v8 would be fixed. |
| 8.0.0b4 | 9.0.0a9 | >1. Zero point text is still coming through on import. Is it possible to set >the minimum to 1 pt? Although this is OK for MC to handle, an exported file >containing 0pt text won't work. [FARM_JDW] |
| 8.0.0b7 | 9.0.0a7 | Leader lines are not imported from DXF. |
| 8.0.0b9 | 9.0.0a9 | separator for menus needs to hilite across its entire width, not just on the left side |
| 8.0.0b9 | 9.0.0a1 | On Windows, single width tool palettes are difficult to close. The close box looks normal, but the active area is only working on the right half of the close box. |
| 8.0.0b9 | 9.0.0a1 | If creating a polyline using corner points, one can drag to get a bezier. That's fine, but it doesn't change the mode bar, and (sometimes) there's no way to get back to doing corner points for subsequent vertices. There appears to be a mysterious bezier metamode that can be entered. [This meta mode is as designed. For now it is a wish list item to change it. -SAJ] [It's the "no way to get back" part that's the bug. It only happens sometimes so it can't be by design, IMO. - JDW] [I get the same behavior all the time. -SAJ] |
| 8.0.0i | 9.0.0b4 | The test file listed is a VW 8 file from an old bug. If I open it in 9 and then select the "Kitchen" saved sheet I get an infinite* number of the following asserts DSTOP(MFarnan): Trying to operate on or access individual fields of an empty rect. * it may not be infinite, but it's more than I can stand and the program is unusable |
| 8.0.0J | 9.0.0b5 | Test file has two problems - 1, extents for polylines not calculated so comes in at wrong scale and with missing arc vertices - 2, crashes the second time it is imported (open dwg critical error "bad data" ). Test file markt.dxf also causes a critical openDWG error. |
| 8.0.0J | 9.0.0a1 | Locked walls with symbols in them allow the symbols to be moved/deleted. [This is true in MC 7 also, so I'm not going to fix it for an 01 release. DWD] [objects can be inserted into locked walls also, version 8.5 b8 RFA] |
| 8.0.1 | 9.0.0a1 | Fix for wall centerlines (JLN) should be done in PostTranslate from V7 to V8 instead of CheckObject. |
| 8.0.1 | 9.0.0b1 | Some truetype fonts (on windows) are apparently missing from the main font menu, but are nevertheless available from the font mapping font popup. Why are they missing from the menu? Why are they available in the popup? |
| 8.0.1 | 9.0.0b12 | Copy a door or window plug-in object from 9810 Base Plan and paste it into 9810 Elevation. The trim comes out really wide (as if a false wall handle were being passed.) Perform a regen and everything is OK. |
| 8.0.1 | 9.0.0a8 | With the allocated memory set to the "factory default" of 20295k (virtual memory turned off), VectorWorks crashes when trying to use the Workspace editor. |
| 8.0.1 | 9.0.0b1 | Parametric objects from the AEC Objects palette that are located near the edge of the page when tiling will diseapear when zoomed in or when printing. [I believe this is related to bug 70-8632 and 70-8431. SWF] |
| 8.0.1 | 9.0.0b12 | Object Info palette edittext bugs: "I was trying to pin down the bug that changes the font size in the "obj info" pallet for straight stairs I have discovered instead 1. If you have a field highlighted, change the number and press "enter" it adds a linefeed to the field which causes it to roll up and disappear Also if you have a field highlighted while changing the Config: or Style: it adds a linefeed to the field which causes it to roll up and disappear Backspacing or deleting the unseen chars has other interesting effects This same effect does not happen for the window plug-in -- Cheers, Dave Best" And a related bug: "1. add a complex window plug-in to a wall, change the width of the window in the obj info pallet, the font in the pallet changes to "Bold" and increases in size" |
| 8.0.1 | 9.0.0a1 | Another little bug seems to happen when cap breaks (with offsets != 0) of round walls are set. The lines of the wall sides end where they are supposed to end, but the polylines that define where the cavities and/or the fill pattern is drawn don't end at the same vertex but a little before or behind (so sometimes cavities are drawn outside the wall). I suppose that some recalculation in ResetObject or somewhere else is not done correctly. |
| 8.0.1 | 9.0.0d1 | An object converted to a mesh is put in the none class, not the class of the object converted to a mesh. (For multiple objects converted, we just use the class of the first object.) |
| 8.0.1 | 9.0.0a1 | I recently was shown this by a colleague of mine and think it is a bug. The line tool when double clicked brings up a dialogue box to input the line length. If you switch to polar mode and insert an angle and length then press ok...the line will always stay at the same angle whatever angle you input. |
| 8.0.1 | 9.0.0b1 | create roof from walls change to a gable end the roof is at a noticable angle from left to right in a model view, I heard this was fixed in 8.01 I can prove otherwise. Keep on smilling |
| 8.0.1 | 9.0.0a2 | when using word perfect in conjunction with vectorworks my customer experiences a black screen. when word perfect is running at the same time as vectorworks. |
| 8.0.1 | 9.0d1 | My customer had 6 classes without names or objects in them This can not be reproduced in house but does happen |
| 8.0.1 | 9.0.0a1 | Somehow the class list gets entries in it with no name, and these entries cannot be removed. |
| 8.0.1b1 | 9.0.0a14 | There is a redraw problem when moving the worksheet window around the work area. Alternating cells lose their selection fill while scrolling up/down (Scroll Bar). Scrolling left/right seems to work fine. The areas that disappear maybe related to the floating palettes. |
| 8.0.1b1 | 9.0.0a4 | When editing an object with the "Clip tool" or with the command "Add surface" or "Clip surface", then the edited object looses all links to databases and also all datatags that where assigned by externals. 1. Select the rectangle 2. Open the objectinfo palette and switch to the data view As you can see is the rectangle linked to the database with the name "Testdatabase". 3. Select the rectangle and the polygon 4. Choose the command "Clip Surface" 5. Select the rectangle As you can see is the rectangle no longer linked to the database with the name "Testdatabase". If the rectangle would had have a datatag it also would be lost. In my opinion the edited object must keep these informations. I think the rules for keeping database and datataglinks should be the same as for the other attributes like fillpattern, lineweight and so on (if you for example add two surfaces that are linked to different databases, then the new object should be linked to the databases the backmost original object was linked to). For graphical attributes you managed to handle this in an intelligent way. Additionaly you also succeeded to even keep database links and datatags when an object is rotated and this is also creating a new objecttyp (rectangle is converted to a polygon). |
| 8.0.1b1 | 9.0.0b9 | Cutting lines with an ellipse using the command "Clip surface" is not working correctly. 1. Select the ellipse and the lines 2. Choose the command "Clip Surface" 3. Zoom so that you can take a close look at some points where the lines end on the ellipse As you can see are some of the lines not ending on the edge of the oval. |
| 8.0.1b1 | 9.0.0b9 | Cutting lines with an circle using the command "Clip surface" is not working correctly. 1. Select the circle and the lines 2. Choose the command "Clip Surface" As you can see are the lines clipped with the boundingbox. |
| 8.0.1b1 | 9.0.0a3 | On Windows, the font used by the rulers/databar/palettes sometimes (rarely) changes to some other font, especially after installing new fonts. |
| 8.0.1b1 | 9.0.0b1 | When you send a DoScript message to VW under Windows, the event globals get screwed up and clobber the frontmost window causing the databar to flicker endlessly & the window to cease responding to user events.1 |
| 8.0.1b1 | 9.0.0b1 | 3D Plug-in Objects don't work with the 2D rotate commands: Tool/Rotate/Rotate Left 90 Tool/Rotate/Rotate Right 90 Flip Horiz Flip Vertical Note that "Tool/Rotate/Rotate3D" does work. Can rotate out of ground plane this way. (See bug 70-7492, a wish for a "Rotate" button right on Obj Info to bring up this dialog.) [Reported by Andreas Kling. ] [Are there 3D-only plugins? - JDW] [Yes. - JAK] |
| 8.0.1b2 | 9.0.0a1 | Background of modebar and view bar buttons goes black after working with VW for a while. |
| 8.0.1b2 | 9.0.0b10 | Menu Item - Clip Surface. The objects in the test file are a spur gear with involuted teeth created with the Spur Gear comand and a hole created with the Keyway command. The spur gear is a polyline consisting of arc, bezier, and corner points while the keyway is a polyline with corner and arc vertices. When trying to do a Clip Surface with the original objects (top row, left) nothing happens. If the gear is changed to all arcs, all beziers, or all corners, Clip Surface works. If the hole is rotated 120-deg, Clip Surface is successful but the clipped surface is incorrect. |
| 8.0.1b2 | 9.0.0b9 | If you undo and then redo a 2-D section, the section does not get selected after the redo. |
| 8.0.1b2 | 9.0.0a1 | The description for callback GetDimText() says, "Function GetDimText returns the dimension value displayed with the referenced object." GetDImText returns the -value- of the dimension, whether it is displayed -or not-. I have a procedure that needs to know if the dimension value is supressed on a dimension, and this function (which should work) is not useful. |
| 8.0.1b2 | 9.0.0a7 | When in left isometric view, I can't select a light that I just placed in the drawing. When the light is placed, it is pointing directly into the screen and shows up as just a dot. Marqueeing around the dot does not select the light. I have placed several lights on the drawing and I can't marquee any of them. Marqueeing around the origin, however, selects multiple lights, but not all. Also seen in b4fc. |
| 8.0.1b3 | 9.0.0a9 | When you delete a tool palette, there is no warning dialog asking you if you are sure you want to delete the palette on the Mac. There is one on Windows. |
| 8.0.1b3 | 9.0.0b6 | If I set the print resolution on a Mac to 1500 (Max BamBam resolution) It causes my grid to disappear on screen and the print to fail. |
| 8.0.1b3 | 9.0.0b1 | On Windows, if you add lines or paste lines into an existing script while working in the VectorScript Editor from a Command palette, and the additions cause the script to exceed 32k, by all appearances there is no indication that you have exceeded the limit when editing from a Command palette until you close the Editor. Only then does the message appear telling you that you have exceeded the 32k limit and that you cannot edit the file on a Mac. What it does not tell you is that you are about to have your script truncated since there is no option other than to click OK. In the past when editing a script from a command palette, when the 32k was exceded, you could not add any additional lines, thereby letting you know that the limit had been reached. |

| 8.5.0b2 | 9.0.0b9 | The dimension offset parameter for all dimension standards except ASME is a minus value when the dimension is offset to the left of the dimension points and plus when offset to the right. The offsets should be the same for ASME since this parameter can be specified by the VectorScript dimension procedures ,e.g., LinearDim(). Thus, when using this procedure, the dimension will be placed to the right or left of the dimension points based on the dimension standard, but should be placed the same for all standards. Also, when changing from Arch to ASME in the Object Info palette, the dimension flips sides. |

| 8.5.0b3 | 9.0.0b1 | An arc disappears when clipped with another shape. This did not happen in MC7. I believe it's a bug. This problem occurs either with the clip surface tool or the eraser tool when used along its radial lines (usually invisible). This was extremely useful (in MC7) for converting arcs to polylines when the workspace is too small to keep the arc's center. Also, when the arc is clipped with another shape along its arc line, the remaining arc becomes *two* arcs! This is also a bug. |

Also, the number is not converted to the sheet's units format even after you <Tab> away from the field or hit <Enter>. To get the number to display properly, you have to type in a different value and then retype the value that you want (in any dimensional format) e.g.: Existing In Field You Type End Result 3'0" 36<Tab> 36 3'0" 36"<Tab> 36" |

| 8.5.0b7 | 9.0.0b12 | it seems that the periodic donglecheck via calling Plug-In support is not as safe as it could be.

| 8.5.1 | 9.0d1 | Edit Class dialog may cause Plug-in Objects to temporarily change their attributes until the next time they are Reset. After the Reset the objects revert to their old attributes and appearance. Follow these steps to duplicate: 1) Place a "Table and Chairs" Plug-in Object 2) Edit Class dialog 3) Change fill color of the "None" class to Blue. 4) Turn on the "Use at Creation" checkbox. 5) OK 6) Now you get an alert "Do you want to set all the objects of this class ...", hit "Yes" button. 7) Now you will notice that all the "Table and Chairs" objects have been colored blue. VectorWorks has searched entire drawing, descending into Plug-in Object sublists, and set all objects with "None" class to now "use class attributes". 8) Select one and change a parameter on the object info palette to cause it to Reset. 9) Now you will notice that the selected object reverts to orignal color (not blue). [JAK - Suggested fix: Class code should not descend into Plug-in Object sublists when it traverses list. In general any changes made to a Plug-in Object sublist will be lost the next time it is Reset. If scripter wants the objects on the subist to always "use class attributes" then the scripter must do it in the script. ] [JAK - this is not a new bug with 8.5.1, it has been around a while. ] |

Also, occasionally, you cannot select or tab into the X field in the Object Info Palette. The only way to do so is to close and them reopen the palette. |
| 8.5.1 | 9.0.0b11 | In VS, it is common to save a temporary view, change the view, execute the script, revert the view then delete the saved view. Choosing Undo after such a script opens the Saved Sheets palette, even if it was not open to begin with. |
| 8.5.1 | 9.0.0b11 | A common VS technique to tag selected objects that need to be deselected, is to attach a temporary record to them, then delete it on completion.

| 8.5.1 | 9.0.0a1 | I just installed 8.5.2b9 and did a restart. The highlighting feature in the color pallette which reflects the currently chosen color or reflects the color of the currently selected object does not work. It didn't in 8.5.1 and it doesn't in 8.5.2b9. I 'threw out' the VW preferences file and let VW create a new one but to no avail. ------------ The problem occurs with the color plalette displayed in conjunction with the Attributes palette. I am attaching a couple of screen shots to illustrate the phenomena. I am using a 19" RasterOps Mc7515 monitor. The settings are:1152x870, 75Hz AND Thousands of Colors. The problem first occurred on my system with the 8.5.1 CD update that I received from Graphsoft. At that time I was on a Mac7300/200 using MacOS9.0. I have recently upgraded to a G4/400 with OS9.0.2. Same behavior on both machines. I called once tech directly once regarding this problem. I was instructed to toss out VW preferences and restart VW fresh so it could build a new preference file. That worked for just a few minutes of use in a new or old file. I was hoping the new 8.5.2b9 update would remedy the situation but it is no different. I can't believe I am the only person experiencing this. Perhaps many newer users don't miss it since they may not ever have been aware such a 'previous color highlighting scheme' ever existed. |
| 8.5.1 | 9.0.0a9 | In some countries such as Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands we use decimal comma instead of decimal point when writing decimal values. On a Swedish keyboard for example we have a comma instead of a point in the numerical keyboard, so it can be pretty annoying having to look elsewhere for the right key. I have noted that VW *usually* accepts both on the Mac version. The Windows version, however, could really do with a cleanup. While doing training I have all too often seen confused students that can not for the world understand why some entries don't work. I know I am being annoying for sending such general comments, but I can't recall exactly where it happened. I has happened two or three times on Windows in the last couple of weeks (during training as well as a support question). My suggestion would be to go through as much as possible of the program with the computer set to German, Dutch or Swedish keyboards. To test it, just use the decimal point in the numeric keyboard, which will give you decimal comma. Unfortunately, we are pretty much Mac people here and only (reluctantly) use Wintels if we absolutely have to, so we can't provide much volume testing in this respect. Over the years (I have been around since 1987) I have however found that new features seem to have this problem. The Wall Framer, for example, had this problem when it was introduced. |

| 8.5.1 | 9.0.0a1 | The second parameter of GetView() is returning a value with a slight inaccuracy, one which is sufficient to cause relational expressions to fail.

| 8.5.1 | 9.0.0a1 | GetZoom and SetZoom use REAL values as parameters. This causes rounding problems when trying to compare zoom values, since the value loses accuracy when converted internally. This inaccuracy is passed back when returning values via GetZoom. The rounding is particularly bad since the values fall on both sides of the zoom factor. The use of REALs is also unnecessary, since as far as I can determine, only the integral part of the value is used. These functions should have INTEGER or LONGINT parameters, not REALs. |

| 8.5.2 | 9.0.0a1 | Tool Tips on the Mode Bar 3 weeks ago I have sent a mail to you an Sean describing a problem with the tooltips and modebar icons (Win only). In the meantime we have detected that this seems to be some kind of an initialization problem. VW only shows tooltips for as many modebar icons as where visible when you last changed the document window. In other words if 2 modebar icons are visible and you change the document window (for example expand the infobar to 2 lines or resize the window), then the tooltips for the first two modebar icons for all tools will be shown. If you then select a tool that has for example five modebar icons all modes after the first 2 (3rd, 4th and so on) will not show tooltips until you again change the document window. Hope that helps to track down the problem. Andreas |

| 8.5.2b2 | 9.0.0b7 | We found a very strange bug when printing on laserwriters (it doesn't show on inktjet printers or plotters). Draw a rectangle, convert it to a polygon and make the bottom side invisible with the Edit Polygon tool. Print this on a LaserWriter and you will see that the left side is also invisible on the print. We did the test on old G3's, a 8200 and a 8500 PowerMac (OS 8.5), printed to a LaserWriter 16/600 and a LaserWriter 8500, always with the same result. It only happens when you convert the rectangle with the command Convert to polygons. When you clip a part of the rectangle first, the rectangle is also converted to a polygon. When you make the bottom side invisible then, the print is fine. |
| 8.5.2b3 | 9.0.0a6 | When creating a floor object the Create Floor criteria box will not allow you to enter a negative extrusion number which is OK ! but if you then goto the Object Info Palette you can then change the floor extrusion value to a negative # and the floor will reflect that change until you close and reopen the VW Doc. upon reopening it will ignor the negative value altering the extrusion direction from how it was last saved. |

The regular insertion mode works fine, and the object changes iteself to match the wall width. To test it you should turn on the "Use Wall Depth" checkbox parameter in the preferences dialog for the object. Then select the tool and click the second mode bar button, click on the endpoint of the wall and drag along a certain distance and release (or click again). Look at the door's jamb depth to see if it matches the wall's depth. |

| 8.5.2b3 | 9.0.0a1 | Depending on how you select classes in the dialogwindow "Classes" it is not possible to make several classes at once invisible, grey or visible. Tested with 8.5.2b3 on Windows NT 4.0 with servicepack 4. No problem on Mac. 1. Choose the command "Classes". 2. Click onto the class "Test 1" and keep the mousebutton pressed. 3. Drag the cursor down to the class "Test 8". Now all classes with the name "Test" are selected in the list. 4. Click into the column "Invisible" in the line "Test 4" As you can see is only the class "Test 4" turned invisible and not all the testclasses. If you would have selected the classes "Test 1" to "Test 8" by first clicking onto class "Test 1", then release the mouse, move the cursor to class "Test 8" and then click onto this class with the shiftkey pressed (selects all classes from 1 to 8) and then click into the column "Invisible", then all classes are turned invisible. Or in other words then VectorWorks behaves as expected. |

| 8.5.2b3 | 9.0.0a1 | If you edit an object with the trim tool, the resulting object is assigned to the currently active class. This is different then with all other tools (Clip, Fillet...) or commands (Clip Surface, Convert to Polygon...) The following test was done with VW8.5.2b3 on a Mac running system 8.5.1 (same problem on Windows). 1. Select the line. 2. Select the trim tool and click on that part of the rectangle that is on the right side of the line. As you can see is resulting polygon now filled red. This happens because the polygon is assigned to the activ class (Test) and this class has red as fill foreground color. In my opinion the resulting object should stay in the same class as it was before the modification (in this case the class None). This is how all other editing functions I tested behave. If the rectangle would be linked to a database, even this link is kept for the resulting object. |

| 8.5.2b3 | 9.0.0a14 | Hallo bug report/ list, I ran into a serious bug (?) with worksheets: I created a worksheet to calculate floorareas in a drawing . I then duplicated this worksheet 8 times and renamed them to be used for the different floor plans. It now appears that the sheets are still 'linked' in some way: when recalculating a sheet other sheets are recalculated as well and wrong numbers are entered in the database rows. While the total sum in each worksheet remains correct all subrows of the database display the wrong values. Although I don't see the exact logic of it yet it is perfectly reproducable. Good enough I discovered this before sending anything to our client. I still have time to redo my work in Clarisworks. Any suggestions? macos8.6, vw8.5 r |

The actual object rotates to a 19 degree pitch, which can be verified in the Right View with a test line. But the OI Palette shows 18 degrees. Now enter "19.001". The OI Palette changes this to "19", and the object draws correctly at 19 degrees (+/- .001"). But if you enter "19.0001", the OI Palette changes this to "18" (while still drawing the object correctly at 19 degrees). |

It >cannot be created. > >Warning: ROTATEDOBJECT GH1 - Handle variable is NIL. > >Warning: ROTATEDOBJECT GH1 - Handle variable is NIL. This highlights a problem with PIO's and that is with default values. With objects such as these generic rectangles and ovals, they can be used at any scale (unlike say a door or window PIO that is almost certainly not going to be used at 1:1). If you use 0 for the default size values with a rectangular PIO, it is fine unless someone double clicks the tool then clicks OK, whereby a zero sized object is created (hence the above errors). If you call up a nominal size, it can still be too large and produce the other common error message from PIO's, that the scale or size needs to be adjusted. |

| 8.5.2b9 | 9.0.0a12 | Rounded Rectangle / Object Info Palette 1. The rounded rectangle has two strange features, If you drag the 9th selection handle you can give a Rounded rectangle a corner diameter that is almost the size of the total rounded rectangle, But if you try this in the Object Info palette you can't assign a larger value then half the total size. (as if it calculates those values as the radius instead of the diameter) I would prefer working with the radius anyway, but you don't need to change that if I'm the only one. 2. If you have a RRect that has symmetrical corners then you can't give it assymetrical corners in the OI palette. First drag the 9th selection handle so the corners aren't symmetrical anymore and now you can enter two different values for the corner diameters. |

| 8.5.2b9 | 9.0.0a1 | An ASME dimension with the OI palette "arrows inside" field checked off shows no witness line, but a custom dimension based on ASME with the same field click off DOES show a witness line. |
| 8.5.2b9 | 9.0.0a3 | Constraints - Constrain Working Plane (3D Only) Select either the Cone, Sphere, Hemisphere, Extruded Rectangle, or Extruded Polygon tool from the 3D palette. When this tool is selected the Constrain Working Plane button is also automatically selected (turned on). Before the actual drawing begins this button can be turned off. This is not the behavior on the Mac. Should the Constrain Working Plane button be locked once a Cone, Sphere, etc., is selected? If so, what tools on the 3D palette should cause the Constrain Working Planes button to lock? With the ability to turn the button on/off at random, the on/off state is often visually incorrect. |
