Hi,

I'm trying to share a plot with someone who has Vectorworks and the last time I tried to export to DXF, the fonts were all way out of scale.

Is there a best method to prep a file to share with Vectorworks?

Thank you.

Yes, this is what I was looking for!

It works perfectly.

Eventually this might be nice to add to the Position Inspector, although, it's always a balance to keep the UI minimalist and simple, so I'd understand keeping some stuff hidden.

Thanks for everything Claude!

Thanks, but I'm not really concerned about the height or the Section. It's more about the Distance of the Position as noted in the Location column I'm using in my Instrument Schedule. Most of the pipes are overhead and the measurements from Center work really well. But because that column is display...

When I ungroup the items it drags as expected. Regroup and dragging the ...

Thanks, that worked perfectly!

Also, thank you for the quick reply and throwing up another build just for that.

Hello, I am printing from a plotter that just doesn't print all shades of gray for whatever reason (HP Designjet 111, if anyone has tips on that), so I'm redrawing files all in black strokes with varying thicknesses. The info field circles I'm using for channels seem to have a Gray stroke that disap...

Thank you! The export and print size seems to be changing in relation to the viewing zoom in lxbeams. I can't see an option to change it in the pop-up menu of v4.8.3 and "checking for updates" says I'm up to date, so I'm gonna check the site for a newer build and back to you. I was verifyi...

Hello, Firstly, I want to say I am loving what you guys are doing with this set of programs! Being a young lighting designer, I really can't afford to drop the money on Vectorworks + Spotlight and Lightwright, so this is an incredible service you're providing. Even more, I love how pared down lx bea...
