Is anyone running MacOS High Sierra and VW 2018. Itching to try it out, but don't wanna blow things up! Thanks, Pat

Just wondering if there will ever be any thing (vectorworks related) that will take advantage of the iPad Pro. I'm picking one up and it would just be a bonus if I could do *some* vectorworking on it! Thanks, Pat

Thanks Jim!

I use "Create Multiple Viewports" ALOT. Is there any reason why there is not an option to specify which sheet layer the viewports land in. When you create one viewport there is an option. It is just annoying to have to change it EVERY time! Thanks! Pat

Praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster! thanks Jim! I have hope!

I've been on my MacBook Pro now for about two years and I really do love it, but the one thing that is frustrating is five plus palettes (main drawing plus palettes)have to be adjusted almost every time I move from my external monitor to the laptop screen. I use the "Stay" app but that works on and off at best. I wish there would be an option to permanently attach all of the palettes together in a configuration then it is only one window that needs to be adjusted. If anybody has used it...I want it just like Photoshop CC2014. Also having the ability to dock the attributes palette to the top of the screen would be nice. Thanks, Pat

I have a brand new macbook pro and am really liking it. I especially am liking the track pad gestures. The one challenge I am finding is, when drawing, I inadvertently drag two fingers across the track pad, I pan (either Horz or Vert) very quickly away from my drawing. Is there a way to disable this so that if I want to scroll, I use the scroll bars, if I want to pan, I use the pan tool and if I want to zoom, I use the zoom tool. If this could be done via Mavericks, Vectorworks or a third party app, I don't care. Thanks much!

Thanks Jim! There is a notice which now says Friday. I got a class of students crawling the walls here! :-)

All day, a box on the Vectorworks Student portal said that it would be available to download today. Now the box is gone and no download link. Has anybody been able to download from the Student Portal today? Thanks, Pat

Yes! This is much needed! Renderworks makes a nice photorealistic picture, but sometimes you don't want that, but you also don't want "cartoon". Thanks!

That looks "hand-drafted". I do my own as well!

Just received my iPad yesterday (ipad 1 16gb wifi refurbed) and it is simply amazing what this guy can do! I am not holding my breath for a VW app...even a viewer, but it would be REALLY useful!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to respond to this, but I think Grant's recommendations are in line with what I was thinking! Thanks for the comments!

Josh, Key PIO...yes please!

Bump. *Nobody* thinks this would be useful?!

Hello, When I use the command, "Create Multiple Views", it automatically places the viewports into a new sheet layer. I then have to cut and paste the viewports into the sheet layer I already have setup in a template. What is the possibility of being able to define a custom "target" where the viewports can be placed?! Thanks,

5th!

Sorry if this is the wrong forum...the printing forum doesn't get much traffic! Is anybody having a problem printing to pdf? I can export to pdf just fine. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro v9 (latest update). It has been awhile since I have printed to pdf but this is the first time I am having problems. Why to I "print" rather than export? File size and pdf quality. Oh yes, I seeing this in 2010 and 2011. Thanks,

Bump. YES!!

When I am working on my light plots, I use the OIP to edit quite a bit of information. It seems that it would be real useful to have more OIP fields with prepopulated drop down lists. Right off the top of my head I could think of: Purpose Instrument Type Label Legend Color Position Pretty much, once a bit on information is typed in, say color, it is then available in the drop down and when you add a new color, IT is available as well. These seems like a no brainer and a great time saver!

I am wondering if anybody else would find useful the ability to dock the attributes palette to the top of the screen? Who's with me!?!

Just a follow up question. Is there some sort of command or tool that would quickly reset all layers to top/plan? Sometimes when I am working on a complicated drawing, I end up with all sorts of layers in different views. A "one-clicker" would be cool!

Maybe it is only me, but when I have a lighting symbol selected, there is way more information in the OIP than I really need, OR the fields that I do need are at the top and bottom of the OIP. The best example for me would be between the "Purpose" and "Focus" fields. Purpose is right near the top and Focus is almost at the bottom. It would be nice to either be able to choose what I want displayed or to rearrange the contents. Who's with me?!!! Pat

Juan, When I tried to install the driver I got, "The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer's manufacturer. Setup will exit." Oh well it was worth a try!

Thanks Juan...will give it a go!
