I agree Fred. The details on that sheet are generic, copies of the diagrams in the code, not project-specific. I assume the construction documents show the code-compliance of the new work. Do you think a set of construction drawings should have to include the verbatim text of all code sections that...

"A superior method is to refer them to the code and put the responsibility for meeting it where it belongs."
Most codes require that the drawing "show" compliance with the code and not merely state "conform to code", at least here in CT

Vectorworks allow you to do straight 2D drawing without creating a model or sheet layouts and viewports; most of my work is done this way. I do however take advantage of the many hybrid 2D/3D tools, wall tools, window tools, etc. which work both ways.

Fred, are you registered to test PC10 yet?

John,
I did not sign up for PC10 beta testing.

Since it appears that PC10 will fully arrive sooner rather than later I have a few questions: 1. Minimum System requirements? 2. Future of Layout with PC? Integration or standalone with FZ? 3. Some sort of mode space/papers pace implementation for PC like Layout? 4. Subscription or other? 5. Retaine...

Nice reminder John, very timely!

Thanks Rob, I had forgotten about those drawings, and , in fact, the other examples in the Drawing Room. As we await PC10 it may be a good idea to visit the DR and reflect on what has been accomplished using PV/WT over the years. Although I switched to VW years ago I still keep up with the forum and...

All showing up fine here.

I think it might be time for an update on computer requirements for PC10. I would think that development is far enough along that system requirements can be stated.

My 2023 Vectorworks architect has an excellent .dwg translator.
QCAD is only $40 and using it solves the translation issues, it does have many AutoCAD Lite features and can be used for initial floor plans to be sent to engineers for their use as backgrounds for their work.
