Since Apple released the beta for the new macOS 10.15 Catalina in June, our engineers have been working diligently to determine how it would affect the performance of Vectorworks 2019 and Vectorworks 2020. On August 19, 2019, we received Catalina beta 6 and were able to test Vectorworks 2019 SP5.1 and our upcoming release of Vectorworks 2020 SP0 and verify all previously reported issues have been resolved.
In accordance with our commitment to quality and performance, see below for the latest updates. And feel free to download Vectorworks 2019 SP5.1 — specifically geared toward improving your experience with our software.
PLEASE NOTE: Before upgrading your version of Vectorworks, check back here often to get the full scope of Apple macOS Catalina’s official compatibility — it’s currently only available as betas and will not be publicly available until Fall 2019.
