If you have put the folder in the correct path they will 100% appear in the catalogue, so you must be putting the new folders in a different path to that which I said.
When adding new folders you must also update Visual Building with the availability of the folder. This is achieved simply by changing to another catalogue, and back again, or restarting Visual Building. Email me a screen shot of showing the actual path and folder structure in Windows explorer similar to the screen shot created above. How do I create a screen shot See also: Where are my files |

I thought I managed to follow your steps but I have come into a problem. I have created a folder named 'scale bars' but now when I attempt at saving a new scale bar into the catalogue the 'graphics 2d' folder appears to have nothing inside it. This is also the case with the materials and textures folder, they all appear to be empty now
They are there through windows but not in the visual building software. |

You can easily create your own folder using Windows File Explorer. Just create a folder in
C:\Program Files\Visual Building Premium 5\Graphics2D for example Scalebars and that folder will then appear in the catalogue. Then copy your scalebar.cys file into the Scalebar folder. I will update the training documentation to clarify these points for future users. |

Sorry, I have now managed to save the object I made up by clicking 'misc' and saving into that area. This seems to have worked, so I am guessing anything I make up now on like textbox etc to put on my a1 sheet I can save into this misc area. What would be handy is if there is a way to make a new folder in the 2d symbol area that everything I make from now on I can save into this instead of the misc area?
p.s thanks for getting me this far as now I can save them and continue my project. |
