    Our security software gives the error that Vectorworks 2021 Installer does not have a valid digital signature.  Does it need an updated certificate?

    It seems i've lost all the viewports crops I had previously made on the Sheet Layer. 

    All I have now is the same viewports without any crops, and the whole project is over each other. 

     

    Could this be a Bug from this SP2? 

     

    See below some useful data from my system and software:

    -Vectorworks 2021 (Fundamentals, Architect, Renderworks) SP2 (Build 574483) (64-Bit)

    -Mac Computer

    -macOS Big Sur (version 11.0.1) 

    -Hardware: iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch,2017)

    -Processor: 3,5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5

    -Memory: 8GB 2400 MHz DDR4

    -Graphics: Radeon Pro 575 4GB

     

    Thank you

    Hi @Tarn

     

    Thanks for the report. I just checked both Mac and Win and they both seem to be signed as expected.


    Can you let me know, what platform and OS version you're using, and any additional information about the error you're seeing (ie, at which part of the extract/install process you're seeing it)? Perhaps something inside the installer like a helper program is the culprit. It's also possible there was an error in your transfer, in which case the signature would be invalid (although, the DMG/zip would likely report problems in extraction).

     

    One other possibility I just thought of is we don't sign the outer DMG for Mac. This is actually something we should probably add, and I'll put it on my list. That would show up when mounting the DMG though, probably not when trying to run the installer app.

     

    Anyway let me know when you can and I'll investigate further.

     

    Best regards,

     

    Tim

    @Tim Ardoin, 

     

    Thanks for the response.  I re-downloaded the installer from the same location and trying this again did not get the security error.

     

    So perhaps my first download somehow got corrupted.  One suggestion: If you published checksums (MD5, etc.) for your installer files users could verify file integrity themselves.

     

    Cheers,

    so many issues still to be resolved, dispearing 3D objects (ghosted), at least crashes once a day if not more and reset of backup timer setup. Please fix these ASAP and issue a new SP

    Thank you

    @Christian Fekete Please contact tech@vectorworks.net so we can help on the Ghosted 3D objects and any other additional issue you might be experimenting with 2021. Also, if you can turn on "Send crash details and verbose usage patterns" in the Vectorworks preferences that will help us to identify the crashes and make sure they are fixed in the next SP or send the crash reports to our tech support team.

     

    thanks,
