Using symbols to speed up the detail drawings.
Using symbols to speed up the detail drawings.
I read of this trick the other day on the Vectorworks Community Board. It’s a way of renumbering all your symbols using a worksheet.
Creating an Asset Database (Facilities Management) In this workshop we will learn how to make objects into symbols. Then we will learn how you can attach information to the objects.
Making the report is straight forward. VectorWorks has a command that will do a lot of the work for you. After we have made the report, we can sort the report by room, by date, by type and so on.
Add more symbols to the plan.
assigning the information to more symbols.
Entering the information to the object.
Linking Text to Record. This will connect the database to the symbol.
Attaching the Database to the Symbol. We have made the database, and we have made the symbol, but they are not connected. The next step is to connect the two parts together.
Now we have our record format we can attach it to objects. Usually you attach record formats to symbols, but it doesn’t have to be a symbol. You can attach a record format to any object.
