Thanks from Brazil! I always learn something new with you! Thanks very much.

[@jonathanreevescad]

Glad to hear that!

[@fgalaz0007]

Thanks for the video, I would have loved you show how to add or modify shoulders for ovelapping labels though

[@jonathanreevescad]

Great suggestion!

[@admindrelarch1214]

Really well made feature. Thanks for video!

[@jonathanreevescad]

Glad you liked it!

I would love to see how versioning is working in Vectorworks.. I tried doing this with updating drawings for a new version when there were changes and you make a «change cloud» in ArchiCad .. most dont use the system because it is a real hassle so I would love to see how Vector works handle this issue in the design process.

[@jonathanreevescad]

Thanks for sharing!

[@nostalgiagaming2326]

Hi Jonathan, Is there a possibility to pre set measurements between the gridlines? In VW 2020 you're able to do so with the current grid tool. It does it automatically for you. I might've missed something in your video since I'm a beginner. Keep up the great work!

[@jonathanreevescad]

Unfortunately not. Just use normal dimensions

Hi Jonathan, do you have a video on dimensioning? I want to know if you can lock dimensions like in revit… So you can make constraints in your design workflow..

[@jonathanreevescad]

Yes you can create parametric constraint dimensions in Vectorworks but I don't have a video on that yet.

[@jasperemanuel4207]

Hi Jonathan, thanks for the video, are you able to edit the circle grid icon to say an arrow, if you want the grid to point in one direction?

[@jonathanreevescad]

Not that I know of

[@augustuskotei1401]

Amazing video!!

[@jonathanreevescad]

You are so kind

[@alqamzi804]

Hi Jonathan, thnx for the video. But I don't see any difference from the Guides Lines?

[@jonathanreevescad]

OK
