Selecting a Project Preference Set

The default preference set is named “VA Defaults,” and its files are located in [VectorWorks]\Plug-Ins\VW_Arch\Data\Prefs_Def.

To use a different project preference set, select it when setting up the file. The preference set selection is saved with the file. Changes to VA Records and Schedules, the Door Hardware Library, or the Room Finish Library are saved in the currently selected project preference set.

When using template files for different types of projects, make a preference set selection before saving the template.

To select a project preference set:

1.	Select Tools > Options > VA Set Project Prefs.

The VA Preference Sets dialog box opens. The listed sets are available for use in the file.

 

Parameter	Description
Preference set list	Lists project preference sets that are available for use in the file
Add	Adds a project preference set to the list; specify the set location and name
Remove	Deletes the selected project preference set association (the file is not deleted, but cannot be selected for this project)
Edit	Changes the project preference set name or location

2.	Select the project preference set to activate.

3.	Click Done.

The selection “VA Defaults” cannot be deleted or edited; it contains the information that is used if no project preference set is designated or if there is an error finding the designated set.
