If you are speaking with Technical Support about an issue that causes Vectorworks to crash on Mac OS X, you may be asked to send in a crash log. Follow the steps below:

1) Open Finder. The Library folder for your User account is hidden. The easiest way to display it is to open Finder, then hold down the alt/option key on your keyboard while clicking "Go" from the menu bar, then selecting "Library". NOTE: this is NOT the Log folder directly on your Macintosh HD.

2) Look in the DiagnosticReports folder:
 

3) Find the most recent files whose names start with "Vectorworks" and end with ".crash"

Please send those files via email attachment.
