    This is so exciting! I've installed it but I haven't setup my workspace so I'm not using it yet. Here's some incentive to make it happen sooner. Thank you!! Kevin

    There's some degree of irony that I first published this wish in 2015. This still frustrates me every time I use the Publish dialog. I have no idea why the sheet order in the Publish dialog and the sheet order in the Navigation Palette Sheet List work differently. Why can't this be made consistent? Here's today's example. First the publish dialog sheet layer list (which is a dog's breakfast) - And my sheet layer list in the Navigation Palette (nicely organized) - Could this at least make it on the Road Map? Kevin

    Definitely needed. Renaming Renderworks Textures to Textures is way overdue. And being able to display the Tab Style as Text Only for things like the Navigation Palette is pointless with long names like Design Layers and Sheet Layers...... Kevin

    Serial numbers have appeared in Service Select and the current download version is Vectorworks 2024 - SP0. Kevin

    I"m sure it does. The Vectorworks interface is the same across both platforms. The only reason why dark theme was different was because on a Mac it's operating system based. KM

    It is part of scene lighting but its controlled differently depending upon the render settings of a sheet layer viewport. Renderworks render setting styles control it directly. For shaded render mode you need to set it by clicking the Lighting Options button for the viewport itself. Shaded render doesn't have direct controls using the Background Render Settings button like Renderworks does. KM

    In its current implementation it would need to be part of Viewport Styles, since its an option for the viewport under Lighting Options.... KM

    I mostly use the Shaded style (formerly OpenGL), which doesn't control ambient occlusion. I think ambient occlusion is only controlled by Renderworks rendering styles. Its all a bit of a dogs breakfast of organization. Likely why people wished for Viewport styles, to bring it all under one umbrella. Kevin

    Do viewport styles control lighting options like ambient occlusion? The inconsistency of how this is controlled by render settings is one of the reasons why render styles weren't a successful as they should have been.... Kevin

    I definitely use the sticky suspend snapping, which is what prompted the wish 🙂 People who trace over a lot of bitmap scans will understand the need for both...... Kevin
  11. Kevin McAllister
    Just as you can temporarily suspend snapping by holding the ` key, I would like to temporarily un-suspend snapping by doing the same when you've suspended snapping. So, by holding the ` key I'd like to temporarily reverse the current snapping status (activate if suspended, suspend if activated). Kevin

    This has been wished for here many times. Definitely still needed. Definitely the Vectorworkaround..... Another workaround is to draw two parallel lines to represent the common dimension of all the bitmaps you want to scale, align them to one and resize them each to the other using Shift as mentioned above.

    Ok, its weirder than described. For me I can only duplicate the bug when using a stacked Dual Dimension. Side by Side Dual Dimensions don't exhibit the same issue. It may not be related to the fraction type specifically.... Screen shots below of Standard , Diagonally Stacked and Vertically Stacked dimension examples. Kevin
  14. Kevin McAllister
    I hope it gets acknowledged at being important. Unfortunately diagonal fractions has a checkered past..... its one of those features that's been unreliable from the start. I was very excited about it at the start but then the problems appeared..... I'm going to file it too. Kevin
  15. Kevin McAllister
    Definitely a bug. Because it affects dimensions I would say a fairly serious one..... since CAD is all about accuracy 🙂 Kevin
  16. Kevin McAllister
    you just made my day! 🙂 Kevin

    Unfortunately not fixed in SP7 😕 KM

    Interesting. Vectorworks is still saying its up-to-date. I just tried through the Updater again. After clicking "Reset" or something like that under Advanced Options it appeared. Before that the status said the update channel was set to "beta" and clicking Check for updates under Advanced Options said I was up-to-date. @MikeVW there may be a bug here somewhere. Kevin
  19. Kevin McAllister
    I this SP actually live? It showed up in the Message Centre and its listed here, but neither Vectorworks' check for updates command or the updater app see it's available. Kevin
  20. Kevin McAllister
    Awesome! Now show me that the viewports don't jump back to the centre of the page when you change their view. Or viewports that don't renumber when you duplicate a whole sheet.... Kevin
  21. Kevin McAllister
    Awesome, thank you!! Kevin
  22. Kevin McAllister
    This looks awesome. I"m guessing @Stephan Moenninghoff was involved. Can I dock a tool bar across the top yet? I've used horizontal tool bars forever and this has been my biggest wish.... Kevin
  23. Kevin McAllister
    Yes, Command [ on a Mac. I use it all the time. Something everyone should know how to do! Kevin
  24. Kevin McAllister
    My 2 cents from doing a lot of this type of thing - always do the clipping with 2d polylines first, then extrude. Using solid subtractions is less reliable for the cutout work. Remember you can edit a polyline's cutouts using Command [ (Mac). Kevin

    Thanks Joseph, Really this is all about point of view. As users we feel its been abandoned. As a company you feel its not a priority. The first post about this was years ago. I can and have built submission forms on my own website in under an hour. Also, to clarify, we're not looking for a reply, we're looking for an acknowledgement that the submission was received and a way to track it for future followup. Yes, we can do this if we submit through the service select email address but many of this pre-date that by many years (I've used Vectorworks since Minicad 5). Kevin
