Fill Attributes

Transfers fill attributes, including foreground and background colors, style (pattern, hatch, tile, gradient, or image fill), and texture

Pen Attributes

Transfers pen foreground and background colors and style (solid, pattern, or line type)

Line Attributes

Transfers line weight (thickness), presence of markers, and marker attributes

Text Attributes

Transfers text attributes to another text object, dimension, or plug-in object, including font, size, font style, alignment, spacing, tab stops, and tracking. Only font, size, and font style settings can be transferred to dimension and plug-in objects.

Wall Attributes

Transfers wall thickness and component settings for walls and round walls; components define wall thickness, so components cannot be transferred without also transferring the thickness parameter

Viewport Attributes

Transfers viewport attributes to another viewport, including class and layer visibility settings, class and layer attribute overrides, and rendering properties (background and foreground rendering modes and options, lighting options, Renderworks background, light overrides and Renderworks styles). Other Properties refers to the remaining viewport options such as view, projection, scale, and advanced properties. Viewport attributes can be transferred between files; class, layer, and other resources specified in an attribute override are resolved by the name of the class, layer, or resource, respectively.

Other Attributes

Record

Transfers the database record attributes

Plug-in Parameters

Transfers plug-in parameters between plug-in objects, including objects inserted in walls

Class

Selects the class for transfer (makes the target object the same class as the source object)

IFC Data (Vectorworks Architect or Landmark required)

Transfers IFC data to another object, while preserving unique IFC identifiers. If the object receiving the data does not yet have a unique identifier, it is automatically created.

Pick Up Sets Defaults

Changes the default Attributes palette settings to match those of the source object; objects created from then on use the attributes of the source object

Use Class Attributes

Transfers the “by-class” settings of the source object, provided the target object is in the same class as the source object

Object Opacity

Transfers an object’s opacity setting
