  • Quick Look and Spotlight Support for Older Versions of Vectorworks on Mac OSX 10.9 Mavericks


    PVA - Admin

    Changes that were made in Mac OSX 10.9 Mavericks could cause the following problems in Vectorworks 2012:

     

        - Quick Look previews and Spotlight searching may fail for Vectorworks files

     

        - Vectorworks may crash on launch

     

    Replacing the shipping SecurityHelperTool in Vectorworks with an updated version will fix these issues.

     

    Steps to fix:

    1) Download a new version of the SecurityHelperTool tool from the bottom of this article.

    2) Unzip the tool.
    3) Navigate to the Vectorworks executable, right click on the executable and click on “Show Package Contents”
