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)

I'm specifically concerned about VWX 2019 as I don't wished to be forced to upgrade software that is only 1 year old.
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?

Hmmm…
How are these parts running if they are 32bit?
While the rest of the app does run, does that mean Python or the Filemaker landscape database won't run?
I suppose that Python is delivered as both 64 bit and 32 bit.

Now I'm finally settled with a personal and a work computer. Is there a way to change the license code and/or reset the activation count?
I'll make sure to keep it on my machines only in the future.
For resetting the serial number, you have to contact your VW tech support with your serial number (do not post the serial number here).

I tend to work mostly with polylines. From your examples above you can see the advantage. In the polygon, the curve is inherently made up of many small straight segments. In the polyline, VW dynamically creates segments for display using the render settings quality level and creates segments for geometry (eg. when you make an extrude) using the 2d Conversion Resolution preference. The polyline curve is defined mathematically as a curve or series of curve segments.

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.

Hello Everyone,
I am confused about convert string to a number. Can anyone check this code is it right? Any suggest which is the best way to learn python in depth.
print int("1") + 1
The above prints 2.
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

I should be able to use an application just three years older than the hardware...
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.

‘Good job guys’. Are you absolutely kidding me?
VW will not load on Catalina Beta 6. There are no dongle drivers compatible. No workarounds and many users rely on the dongle edition.
"many" perhaps, but dongles are not the standard installation anymore.
But how can something be done on the VW side? VW cannot invent a dongle driver if the dongle supplier has not released its own version of the driver.
(Except, of course, by changing installations from B to E serial numbers, like the current program for the German VW... for other reasons).

If I remember well, a few years ago, I tried to get that translated name too... and I have not found a way. So, unfortunately, I am not the one who can help.
-
Has the Plug-Ins a localized named at all? Tools, menus, objects have translations, but Plug-Ins? (At least in C++, I do not think that they have any.)
-
Nice to hear that you could find out more.

@Nicolas Goutte What’s your thinking that this is Mac OS related?
Well, personally I did encrypt on Windows on VW 2019. (Yes, sure by VS call, not by VW directly)
As for HFS/APFS difference, I have just thought of it because we were bitten by some differences just last week (on something else in VW's world, not encryption)
Quote- Are you getting error messages when you try to run the encrypted script without the included? Can you post one of the error messages?
Good question, indeed, to double-check if there would be still any error or warning
-
OK, that leaves not many options left for you to have a quick workaround.
I can only think of two possible ways you could try:
- a Mac running an older macOS
- a Mac running macOS 10.14 but on another filesystem (HFS versus APFS, of course case-insensitive, as VW does not work on case-sensitive file systems)
Also, you might try to encrypt a brand-new VS. Does it work?
-
The simplest solution would be probably to try to encrypt on Windows (if possible for you).

A few versions ago, script files needed to change their encoding to UTF8.
That was for VW 2018 (where the switch to Unicode was done).

Hi Nicolas,
The BatchEncryption Plugin definitely not present in any of my Vectorworks user or application folders going back to 2012. Not part of the standard install?
Is it documented somewhere?
Thanks both.
It was the first idea I had when I have seen this thread. However I am not sure if it is need or not, if you do not encrypt per script (unlike we do). (That is why I have answered with such a delay.)
As for documentation, see http://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php/VS:EncryptPlugin
-
Could it be that the BatchEncryption Plugin is missing oder otherwise mismatching to the version you use?

Joseph,
Of course, I have tried that. They do not work on Mac Catalina, hence my post.
It seems odd this thread is about testing VW on Mac Catalina, but there are no drivers available to support the dongle required to run the software.
How are others testing the software under the Beta program?
Nowadays most serial numbers are without dongle, for example E serial numbers. Therefore the problem that you see does not appear in that case.

Using Project Sharing across mixed PC and Mac user environment and server
in Troubleshooting
Posted
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.
