I am looking at purchasing a new computer to run VectorWorks better.
Just to give some context:
We are in a Mac-only office using VW Spotlight. We use Renderworks only on rare occasions - maybe 2% of the time. Renderworks is not a concern.
Currently I am on a high end Mac Pro Tower but often find myself coming to a near stand-still whenever I am doing any significant 3D work. We do a mixture of 2D and 3D drawing with some elements in 2D and some in 3D utilizing a lot of hybrid symbols.
I am looking at either getting a top of the line 27" 5k iMac or a Mac Pro "capsule".
My questions are:
a) does Vectorworks take advantage of multi-core processing in ordinary hidden line applications?
(not Rendorworks. Found a post from 2011 saying No but not sure if that has changed)
b) Is there anyone that has any thoughts about the 2 machines above?
