Creating Schedules in Vectorworks Architect

The VA Create Schedule command generates worksheets for the current file. Any schedule definitions that were created with the VA Records and Schedules command display in the list, as well as several preformatted schedules provided as default content with the Vectorworks Architect product.

The Display default content option must be selected on the Session tab of Vectorworks preferences to see the preformatted schedules. (See Session Preferences.)

To generate a schedule:

1. Select Tools > Reports > VA Create Schedule.

The Create Schedule dialog box opens, listing the schedules that can be added to the file.

2. Select the desired schedule to be created. Enter a new Schedule Title if desired. Select Place worksheet on drawing to place the worksheet on the drawing for printing.

3. Click OK.

Each schedule has a record format associated with it. If there is a difference between the record definition currently in the file and the record definition in the current preference set, a notice displays with the option to continue or fix the record.

If the selected schedule already exists in the file, a warning dialog box opens. Select whether to replace or rename the new schedule (some schedules also have a recalculate option), and click OK.

4. Click the drawing area where the top left corner of the schedule is to be located.

The worksheet opens, displaying the schedule information. If the option to place the worksheet on drawing is selected, the worksheet is included on the drawing.

If the “on drawing” worksheet is accidentally deleted, select the worksheet from the Resource Browser and select Worksheet On Drawing from the Resources menu.
