[No longer able to copy text from SAVE AS dialogue box.]

Perfect! Thank you!

[No longer able to copy text from SAVE AS dialogue box.]

Hello,

 

When I select  FILE >  SAVE AS,  I am unable to copy the file name in the dialogue box, in order to paste it into the drawing for reference. I have to manually type it out as an annotation on the drawing. I was was previously able to do this and it saved a lot of time. 

 

How can I fix this? Thank you!

I will guess the OS (Catalina from Mojave) has something to do with it.

OR 

Was the file on the old machine already rendered (so the model was already save in computer cache) ?  Adjusting the seating would be quicker in that model than rendering the entire model from scratch on the new machine.

You were correct bob. I originally started the project on the old machine running Mojave and exported it to the new machine running Catalina. That was the problem. I just started the project over again on the new machine running Catalina and it is handling the seating  without a problem. I  doubled the seating as a test and there is virtually no lag at all. So thanks for your response. MUCH appreciated!

[From 2013 iMac to 2019 iMac why no performance improvement?]

Hello, I upgraded to a 2019 27" iMac 3.6ghz 8-Core intel i9 (128gb DDR4 Ram) Radeon Pro Vega 8gb Catalina. I see almost no performance boost from the 27" 2013 iMac 3.5ghz intel i7 2 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 -VIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4 GB ) Mojave. Can anyone tell me why I do not see an improvement in performance? In some cases the computer performs worse. The 2013 is performing better with the file I've attached. When I try to move the Event Seating around the drawing area, it is virtually impossible. It takes a long time to render etc. The items in the sheet layer will not always match the positioning in the design layer. Is there a setting inside of Vectorworks that could possibly improve the performance of the software? I'd like to know before I return the computer. Thanks for your help!

[Can't Edit or Add New RW Texture in Resource Manager 2017]

I am having this same issue - I think. I double click on the texture in the resource manager but no dialogue box opens allowing me to edit the texture. I am using VW 2017 spotlight - MacOS Sierra

Is there another way to edit an existing texture in the resource manager?

[2012 mac pro vs. Late 2013 iMac]

I want to upgrade my Late 2013 27" iMac (3.5 Ghz Core i7 - 32 Gb 1600 ram - Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB).

 

I was hoping for a new 2016 Mac Pro, but that isn't happining.

 

Will a 2012 Mac Pro 3.06 Ghz 12 core - 64GB ram - ATI Radeon 5770 MD771LL/A CTO be a significant upgrade from what I'm currently using?

 

I use Vectorworks and Cinema4D a lot.  the 32 gigs of ram in my iMac isn't handling large files very well. 

 

Thanks for any insight or advice you can offer.
