QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks Fundamentals 2009
We are going to work on exercises that explain basic concepts, ways of working, and how to
draw quickly in 2D. If you are a new user, then you are advised to work through all of the
exercises. If you are familiar with Vectorworks, then you should still review this chapter, just in
case things have changed. This will help you to work using the most effective methods.

FUNDAMENTALS
The exercises and instructions have been designed to teach you specific skills in Vectorworks
Fundamentals 2009, so try to complete all of the exercises. This is a QuickStart Guide—it will
show you quick ways to get started, but it won’t show you everything that you need.

Vectorworks 2009 products provide powerful drawing and designing capabilities that you can
use for a range of professions--from engineering and landscape, to set and lighting design, to
architecture. The software provides a combination of 2D and 3D tools and concepts to create
sophisticated drawings and designs, and also includes a database/reporting component and a
built-in scripting language that allows you to make your own custom tools.

Vectorworks 2009 products can be used to create simple 2D drawings for joinery, a whole set
of contract documents for a large commercial building, landscaping design, or a virtual 3D
model of the building that you can walk around or fly through.

This Quickstart Guide is the first in a series. We encourage you complete this guide first before
moving on the other guides.

QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks 2009 Products 5


Set Up Your Drawing

• Go to the Menu Bar


• Choose File > New...

• On the Create Document dialog box, choose


the option to Create blank document. We will
start with a blank document and set it up to suit
the drawing we want to draw.

• Go to the Menu Bar


• Choose File > Page Setup...

• Set the Page Setup to be one


page vertically and one page
horzontally.
• Click on the Printer Setup
button.

6 QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks 2009 Products


• On a Macintosh, choose your printer.
• This drawing is more horizontal than
vertical, so we need to set up the
drawing as landscape (horizontal)
rather than portrait (vertical).

FUNDAMENTALS
• On a Windows machine, choose your
printer.
• Set the drawing as landscape
(horizontal) rather than portrait
(vertical).
• Click on the OK button to get back to
the Page Setup dialog box.
• Click on the OK button.

• Go to the View Bar at the top of the


screen.
• Click on the Fit to Page Area button.

QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks 2009 Products 7


• Go the Menu Bar.
• Choose File > Document Settings > Units...

• The first tab controls the


drawing units. These are the
units for your drawing and
dimensioning.
• Choose the units that you want
to use from the Units pop-up
menu.
• Click on the OK button.

• This drawing needs a layer scale that will allow us to draw


everything on the same page. A scale of 1:1 will fit
everything on one page.
• Right mouse click in a blank part of the drawing area.
• From the context menu choose Active Layer Scale...

8 QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks 2009 Products


• Set the layer scale to 1:1.
• Click on the OK button.

FUNDAMENTALS
There is more than one way to create objects in
Vectorworks Fundamentals. There are three main ways to
create objects. We will create three rectangles using each
of the three main ways.

• Go to the Basic palette.


• Select the Rectangle Tool.

• Go to the Tool Bar, the area just


above the drawing area.
• Click on the first mode.

QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks 2009 Products 9


• Click once to start the rectangle
• Move your cursor down and to
the right.

• Click once to finish the


rectangle.

• If you look at the Object Info Palette you will see the size
of the rectangle that you have created.
• Use the Object Info Palette to change the width to 50mm
(2”). Type in the size you want and then hit the Tab key
once to move to the next field on the Object Info Palette.

10 QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks 2009 Products


• Notice how the rectangle
changed size, but one side of
the rectangle stayed where it
was. This is controlled by the
object position locator, the
series of nine dots on the

FUNDAMENTALS
Object Info Palette the
change is relative to the
highlighted button.

• Use the Object Info Palette to change the Height to 50mm


(2”). Type in the size you want and then hit the Tab key
once. Vectorworks Fundamentals will apply the new
dimension to the rectangle.

• Notice how the rectangle


changed size, but one corner of
the rectangle stayed where it
was. This is controlled by the
object position locator, the
series of nine dots on the
Object Info Palette.

QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks 2009 Products 11


• Now we can use the Object Info Palette to move the
rectangle on the screen. The middle part of the Object Info
Palette controls the position of the rectangle.
• Set the box position (the black dot in the grid of nine) to the
bottom right by clicking on the bottom right radio button.
• Change X and Y coordinates to 0.

• Notice how the rectangle has


moved on the screen.
• This is the first way of drawing
in Vectorworks Fundamentals.
It’s accurate because you
change the size and location of
the object after you have drawn
it, but it’s not the fastest way.

12 QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks 2009 Products


Drawing With The Floating Data Bar
The second way to draw objects is to use the Floating
Data Bar.

FUNDAMENTALS
• Go to the Tool Bar.
• Right mouse click (control+click
if you have a one-button mouse).
• Check the settings for the Data
Bar. Click on the option to Use
Floating Data Bar.
• Right mouse click on the tool
bar and set each option to
match the image.

• Make sure the Rectangle Tool


is still active.
• Move to the center of the first
rectangle and click once.

• Move down to the right.


• Notice the floating data display
bar.
• Hit the Tab key once. This gets
you into the Floating Data Bar.

QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks 2009 Products 13


• Type in the dimension you want
for the X direction
50mm (2”).
• Hit the Tab key once.
• Notice the rectangle is fixed in
the X direction.

• Type in the dimension that you


want for the Y direction
-50mm (-2”).
• Hit the Tab key once.

• Notice the rectangle is fixed in


the Y direction.
• Click once to finish.

This method is faster than the last


one, and it is accurate as well.

14 QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks 2009 Products


Drawing With Dialog Boxes
The third way to draw objects is to use the Create Object
dialog box. Some tools have the ability to create an object
if you double-click on the tool in the tool set.

FUNDAMENTALS
• Double click on the Rectangle Tool.
• The Create Object dialog box opens.
• Type in the dimension you want for the width field
50mm (2”).
• Hit the Tab key once to move to the next field.
• Type in the dimension that you want for the height field
50mm (2”).
• Set the box position (the black dot in the grid of nine) to the
top left by clicking on the correct radio button.
• Enter the coordinates for the origin of the rectangle:
X=0
Y=0
• Click on the OK button.

The new rectangle is placed in the


correct position and is the correct
size.
This method is also fast and
accurate. It works well for some
objects, but not all (for example,
continuous walls, polygons, etc.).

QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks 2009 Products 15


Selecting and De-Selecting
The ability to select one or more objects is fundamental.
Without the ability to select an object, you will not be able
to move, rotate, or edit the object.

Most editing tools require you to select an object before you edit or manipulate it. Some other
programs may work differently. With Vectorworks Fundamentals, you must select the object,
then pick the tool.
To select an object, use the 2D Selection Tool. Move the cursor to the object that you want
to select and click once. You will notice that when you move the cursor over an object, the
cursor changes shape and the object highlights. It is supposed to do that to let you know that
it recognizes an object that can be selected.

• Use the 2D Selection Tool to select the first rectangle that we made.

• To select an object, move your


mouse to the edge of the object
and click once with the mouse.
• Notice that it highlights objects
when your mouse gets close to
them. This is called pre-selection
and it makes it easy to tell which
object you will be selecting
before you click on it.

16 QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks 2009 Products


• Any selected object will be
shown by the highlight colour.

FUNDAMENTALS
• Click on the second rectangle
that we made, and notice how
the first rectangle is no longer
selected.
• To De-Select objects, click in a
blank part of the drawing.

• You can select more than one


object by holding down the
Shift key as you click on the
next object.

QuickStart Guide to Vectorworks 2009 Products 17


Deleting Objects

• Select the object to be deleted.

• Hit the Delete key on the


keyboard, use the Backspace
key, or use the right mouse click
and choose Cut or Clear.

• Select and delete one of the


other rectangles.
