Using Project Sharing across mixed PC and Mac user environment and server
Nicolas Goutte replied to anton5's question in Troubleshooting
Yes, it is surely tricky. May-be users having migrated from AFP to SMB can give you tipps. (I can only re-iterate the theory... like a parrot. 😉) -
Using Project Sharing across mixed PC and Mac user environment and server
Nicolas Goutte replied to anton5's question in Troubleshooting
It has little to do with project or non-project VW files. The root problem is the different lock types between SMB and AFP. Of course, as you are supposed to share project-type VW files, the risk to have a real damage is higher. That is why the "one protocol only" way is recommended, for all VW files. -

Nicolas Goutte replied to anton5's question in Troubleshooting
If you want mixed environment, you have to use SMB as network protocol, as you should only use only one protocol (and Windows cannot do AFP). See what I had written and referenced in a previous thread. (Probably you can read that entire thread too)- 5 replies

Then at least wait for the official go, which has not been given yet (as @Tamsin Slatter has already posted similarly in this thread):

Would the list documented in http://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php/VS:InitXML be what you search?

I suppose that Python is delivered as both 64 bit and 32 bit.

For resetting the serial number, you have to contact your VW tech support with your serial number (do not post the serial number here).

Polylines are indeed better... just be careful that a polyline can also contain Bézier and cubic... which not all CNC can handle.

I have found a previous official answer by Tamsin Slatter on such a kind of question:
-
If I remember well, just do not use that computer for a certain time (a day or so). If it does not work automatically, I suppose that you have to go through support to reset your serial number.

How To Convert A String To A Number In Python?
Nicolas Goutte replied to adisharma's topic in Python Scripting
Just to be picky: that is print from Python 2. In Python 3 you need parentheses: print(int("1") + 1) As for tutorials, I would start with the official one of the Python documentation (here the Python 3.5 version, as VW uses Python 3.5.2): https://docs.python.org/3.5/tutorial/index.html -
The post in the German forum I have quoted earlier gives this command line for checking the last available version /Applications/Vectorworks\ 2019/Vectorworks\ 2019\ Updater.app/Contents/MacOS/Vectorworks\ 2019\ Updater cli check

That is the difference between Windows and macOS. Windows tries at great pain to keep compatibility to old software, macOS does not. (Also the 2017 hardware was surely not delivered natively with macOS 10.14.) As for the fact that this is "annoying", see other threads in this forum.

Have you already tried out VW 2019 SP5.2. (There is supposed to be fixes for Nvidia GPU inside. May be it would fix your problem.)

VW 2017 and older are not guaranteed to work on Mac OS 10.14. Only VW 2018 and higher were adapted.
