  1. Has anyone experienced the following condition? Mac OS Mojave - VW Architect 2018: 1. Say you have 1 file open. 2. Then you minimize it to the Dock. 3. The you open a second file. 4. The new file opens, the old file springs up to the desktop behind the new file. Work on the new file. Then reach for the old file - and there it is, looks live when you bring it forward, and it can be navigated, but it cannot be edited. Nor can it be re-minimized to the Dock. You look at the dock and the old file's icon is still there. Click that icon, and the file re-springs to the desktop fully editable. 5. Conclusion, opening a new file with one in the Dock causes a "phantom" file window to come to the desktop from the Dock. No other app does this to my knowledge; just Vectorworks. This is at best, a minor annoyance. But one forgets at times and attempts to use the phantom window, which is the source of the annoyance.... Am I the only one who has this happen? Thanks, CD
  2. One of my colleagues had this problem a moment ago. Finding this thread was a huge help. Such an easy thing to accidentally change with an errant click. Thanks for posting fellas. CD
  3. Howdy folks; Been a VW user since it was called MiniCAD. iMac, Late 2014 High Sierra v10.13.6 (17G65) 4 GHz Intel Core i7 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4096 MB We are on 2018 architect, and have been experiencing a strange glitch with larger models of a +200mb file size. When changing wire frame views the whole model becomes invisible. Sometimes it'll come back with command-5, sometimes with render to OpenGL. Sometimes it won't come back at all. Below is a screenshot which shows the model components still present as highlighting when the cursor rolls over them. Searches in the Trouble-Shoot forum for this or similar issues has turned up nothing. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks, Chuck Edit: I added another screenshot of additional glitchiness, plus a video that shows the rotational invisibility. Thanks for looking, Chuck IMG_0212.mov
  4. I'm having the same issue in a work group of two. We've tried import via Layer Import and via Design Layer Viewport. Subsequent viewports made from the imports work until the references are updated. Then the reference data shifts; sometimes a lot, sometimes just a little. In the case of a lot, the viewport content appears to vanish, in the case of just a little, the content is just visibly out of position within the VP crop. When it's "vanished" you can edit crop and find it.... it's just moved far away. I've sent an email to tech support. I'll share what I find out. VW Architect 2017 sp1, MAC OSX 10.12.5
  5. Much obliged Alan. It would seem that I am overdue for for a new pair of specs... Chuck
  6. Howdy, New to the forum but not to VectorWorks. I've been using it since it was called MiniCad. I have a couple questions: 1. Can anyone tell me how to tag prints and pdfs with the <filename/path/date> of origin in a margin? 2. Is there a Forum Topic Search available? I'd rather not start threads with questions that have been asked already. Thanks! Chuck
