Records and SchedulesRecords and SchedulesSome architectural elements (doors and spaces, for example) have predefined data that is automatically attached to them as they are created. Preformatted schedules are available for reporting this data, as well as data from other elements of the Vectorworks Architect, Landmark, and Spotlight products. (For information on choosing a preformatted schedule in Vectorworks Landmark and Spotlight, see Creating Schedules Automatically.)
Typically, custom data records and schedules are created and edited with the Resource Browser. The Record and Schedule Management suite provides an alternate method for managing data in architectural documents.
For information about using the Resource Browser to create and edit record formats and schedules (worksheets), see Record Formats and Creating Worksheets. Record formats and schedules created in this way cannot be used with Vectorworks Architect product’s Record and Schedule management suite, however.
The records and schedules suite includes the following commands:
● VA Records and Schedules: Establishes default formats for records that can be attached to objects, and for schedules that can be generated from those records
● VA Create Record: Adds selected record formats to the current file
● VA Create Schedule: Adds selected schedules to the current file
By default, records and schedules created with VA Records and Schedules are added to the VA Defaults project preference set, and new files use that VA Defaults set. If additional sets of records and schedules are needed, create a new set of preferences and select that set before setting up a new drawing file. See Working with Project Preference Sets for more information.
