Resource manager in interiorCAD 3
In interiorCAD 3 you will find a new resource importer. In the menu �InteriorCAD� choose the entry �Import Resources...�. This will show the new resource importer. Resources can be filtered by tags, searched by a fulltext search engine, previewed in any of the VectorWorks default view- and render modes and finally imported into the current document.
Adding new libraries is very easy:
- Create a new library document
- Place your resources into the document. Please note: only one resource type per document is allowed, and the resources must be placed on the top level of the resource browser, e.g. not placed in symbol folders
- In your VectorWorks installation, you will find a folder called �Libraries�. In this folder a subfolder called �xg� must exist. In this folder, create a new one and save your drawing in this new folder. The names of the folder and the drawing are arbitrary
- Your new resources should already appear in the �Import Resources...� dialog. If you want to add descriptions to your resources, additionally place a file with the extension �.xgx� in your folder
- In this file create TAB separated columns. The name of the first column must be named �ID�. This column must lists the names of the resources in the VectorWorks library drawing
- Add further columns with arbitrary names and fill them with content.
If you are unsure about the xgx file, simply copy and open an existing one in a spreadsheet application and use it as a template for your own index file.
