Checking the drawing

Vectorworks can automatically check the drawing (the current layer or all layers) for problems with sockets, circuits, devices, signals, and layout objects. Any issues can be color coded for easy identification.

To check the drawing:

1.      Select the command.

The Check Drawing dialog box opens.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

2.Select the drawing items to check and the color for the issue markup, and click OK.

When tracking down a problem, it’s helpful to avoid repeating tasks which passed successfully; deselect those.

3.Drawing objects with problems are selected, and marked up with a special class to make them more visible. In some cases, additional drawing objects mark specific areas. Resolve the issues, clear the markup, and run the Check Drawing command again to verify.

Clearing drawing markup

After running a drawing check (or the Compare Cable List and Drawing command) and resolving problem areas or determining that they are not an issue for the current schematic drawing, the highlighted markup can be removed.

To remove markup after a drawing check:

Select the command.
