VectorWorks Landmark Workspace

When a VectorWorks Design Series product is launched by double-clicking the application in Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Macintosh), the Default.sta template file opens with predefined settings which vary slightly between products.

If only one Design Series product is installed, the default template file for that product is loaded. If multiple Design Series products are installed, the VectorWorks Architect Default.sta file is loaded. See Creating a New File for information on opening a different template.

The Landmark default template opens with the following predefined settings:

File > Document Settings > Units are set to feet and inches on the General Display tab

Grid lines are not visible

Design layer scale is 1:48

Printer setup is set to landscape orientation

Landmark shares many of the same menus as VectorWorks while adding several menus and commands. The following table shows menu commands that are in the Landmark workspace (Tools > Workspace > Landmark) but not the standard VectorWorks workspace:
