  1. @Cadplan Architecture I have separate USB hard drive boot disks for 10.7.5 and ElCapitan and store my documents/files on a separate USB disk so either boot disk can access it which seem to work pretty good, the problem is designs require a lot of factual research (equations, tables, details, ordinances, design standards, etc.) that you copy and paste into the design or use to get design parameters.  Losing that internet browser research capability is a good way to forget to change something.  And yes, I to know how to do everything by hand, including the drafting as your friend does.  The separate layers on the Vectorworks program was done manually by using the Pin Bar Mylar drafting system.    And thank you for your answer, but if anyone you known has a 2016 or later Vectorworks, I am interested.  Again, thank you.

  3. I have used this program since MiniCad Version 1.0.  Used it because it worked on Macintosh Computers.  I was sick of "/" and"*" commands.  I am a 74 year old Licensed Professional Engineer and Licensed Professional Land Surveyor.  Have used this program to design all kinds of engineering designs, including 100 lot subdivisions (by myself) and tens of thousands of Survey Plats. I bought Vectorworks 2008 and have used it since new.  But it requires OS X 10.7 or less.  So I have not updated my OS X operating systems just to keep using my Vectorworks because I could not afford the new program.  The 2008 has Renderworks, Landmark, Architect and Fundamentals. Now I have had to update my OS X to ElCapitan because my internet browsers will not be supported by OS X 10.7.5.  Does anyone have a different Vectorworks program that works with ElCapitan?  Otherwise, I am out of business. I just cannot afford the new programs.  I have stood by this product for nearly 37 years.  Please help.
