List of data visualizations |
Displays a list of available data visualizations, similar to the list available from the Data Visualization menu on the View bar. Click the plus sign or disclosure arrow to expand a list. |
|
New |
Select an item in the Current Document area of the dialog box, and then click New; see Creating a new data visualization |
|
Edit |
Click on a data visualization, and then click Edit; see Editing the current data visualization. While it is possible to edit a visualization that is not in the current file, without an actual project, there may not be a list of available record formats for display criteria. The best workflow for content editing purposes is to import a visualization into the current document, perform any changes, and then export it again. |

Opens the Rename Data Visualization dialog box, to rename the currently selected visualization |
|
|
Duplicate |
Duplicates the currently selected visualization, and opens the Edit Data Visualization dialog box for editing. The name of the duplicate is, by default, the same as the original, with a number added; if the original name ends in a number, the next available sequential number is used. The name can be edited. |
|
Delete |
Deletes the currently selected visualization |
|
Select Other Vectorworks Document, and then click Import to import visualizations from another file. The Open Vectorworks Drawing dialog box opens, to specify a location and file. All visualizations from the file are imported into the current file. You can also import selected visualizations from the user and workgroup folder. |
|
|
Click on a visualization from the Current Document list, and then click Export to open the Export Data Visualization dialog box. Select whether to export to the user folder or to a workgroup folder. The visualization is added to the specified folder and displays in that list. |
