Vectorworks, Inc. has released its second Service Pack (2019 SP2) for the Vectorworks 2019 product line as well as a fifth Service Pack (2018 SP5) for the Vectorworks 2018 product line. Among a number of enhancements, Vectorworks 2019 SP2 and 2018 SP5 fix major bugs introduced with Apple’s recent release of macOS Mojave.
We have reported all remaining macOS Mojave issues uncovered in our testing to Apple. The last remaining known issues are primarily related to printing. These issues have been submitted to Apple; however, some of them may require driver updates from various hardware manufacturers. These issues affect Vectorworks but are not directly related to it.

- Graphics anomalies with custom pop-up controls
- Working Planes palette turns gray, making working plane items invisible
- Resource Manager title bar turns black and the dialog also flashes black
- Color change when pasting to older versions of Vectorworks (Workaround: Use File > Export to export to the previous version instead of copy/pasting)
