  1. I made a 2014 shortcuts version and workspace i think has more logic than the Nemestchek version it groups the tools in lines in keyboard if you want to download the editable vectorworks file go to www.lcda.org on lcda guides
  2. i have VW 2008 and 2009 full versions and 2012 student and i hate 2012 it uses a lot of vram so it's very slow on big 2d drafting and 3d models the faster is 2008 version it's very stupid that upgrades are just for doing software worse.
  3. learn of what happened to whatsapp you are about to broke the company A possible acceptable solution is to realese a free version of vectorworks 2014 only with the escencial tools
  4. confirmed only vector works 2014 works on mavericks http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/1163/Vectorworks+Operating+System+Compatibility+List+2013-10-22 Nemetscheck should give us updates for 10.9 at least of 2008 versions based on the fact 2007 macs run maverick
  5. no maxwell export, no 64 bit multiprocessor support, no subdivision, and very expensive update let?s wait until 2013
  6. i have been lookin for months this converteer thanks
  7. How do i import a gps file from a garmin device to vectorworks, hoy does the survey input works
  8. Antoter 2 Fixes auto join walls on the run shortcut on the run i mean a key to join while you are doing wall bezier walls bezier double line have you seen this by the way http://www.plataformaarquitectura.cl/2010/05/22/autodesk-autocad-para-mac-os-sledgehammer-beta-1/ that means less clients for nemetsheck
  9. TOTALLY AGREE WITH WOODPECKER I think we should start first to fix what we have and then make whishes VectorWorks need testers i mean develop architectural projects to see the errors but let's make them work i made a list of my fixes divided on bugs, easy, and major bugs auto join walls crashes program on all versions since MiniCad 6: on a very specific situation, when you make a wall after other wall aligned it makes like an infinite line and crashes when very simple and unfixed Why can not fix objects positions and rotation with cursor in ISOMETRIC view and objects in x,y,z, lilke all 3d software cinema, sketchup, acad i mean like the tool for manipulating nurbs but just for moving or rotating an object why can not fix a point a vertex or a face in mesh tool with cursor why can not touch face an move it like in 2d view why can't make a window like making a wall i mean with a line or fix it without number i mean with blue points why is different to make round window wall of simple round wall who puts criteria why we do not have polyline double lines why cant make a hand rail with control line mode an also window wall why we do not have multiple view like all cads why is so difficult to use the extend tool and it does't work almost for anything is it too difficult to put auto join walls and zoom line thickness on main page i mean i use both of this all the time and i have to go preferences etc etc why can not divide a 3d face with a line like Sketchup with just one line why is not attributes tool integrated with info tool i mean why do we have to use a 3d texture and a 2d fill i mean double work major why render is so bad and slow why we can't not have vray, supodium or maxwell plugins why we can't export to obj, skp or export to obj is it too difficult to put the cities on solar tool instead of we to have for latitude an longitude Dongle alternative or vectorworks free 64bit adressing and multi processing do you have another fix?
  10. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=12602821&siteID=123112 this is the future and we need that on vectorworks, not better rendering not faster renderings not animations not bulding modeling we need a real tool for sustainable analysis
  11. Well my point is this if you selling software is not like selling computers for example or bananas to put the price of bananana you may have an operation like this land for grow buy trees people to work boxes to carry bananas buses for taking bananas to the marke seller taxes, risks, publicity blah, blah, blah, blah all this divided with the number of bananas software it?s lke this maybe rent of a place buy computers people to work servers to put the product on the web web masters to solve problems and tchnichians taxes, PIRACY, publicity blah, blah, blah, blah the point is how many licenses pay all this but here we have to make a different ecuation let suposse 1 license costs millon 10 licences costs 100 000 so if you sell 10,000 licenses they can cost 100 the point of giving a free licence is to have more users to pay all costs and when the millon is payed the rest is utility is not that easy???
  12. Yes the dongle is only for outside US another Blindness of this company, for example apple does?t sells different computers to latinamerica and also the prices are the same why to sell different products in us and outside nna should have vision for latinamerican markets and if you think you can not do money here ask this man http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8560731.stm
  13. Yes i would like the ecotect modules, the relux light analizer tool, subdivision technology in all tools, but... if we can?t even have a road map how is this even possible it seems like NNA is on a crisis, because they can not raise too much the price of the software and buy all aur gifts, and the other way to have money is to sell a lot of licences the question is still the same is a vectorworks free a good idea of becoming a bigger, becoming more popular software, and have more licenced users or there is another way of thinking bigger
  14. Thats the point, for example i think companies like autodesk and microsoft used piracy to standard the architectural drawing google has a new idea of making this better, standard architectural drawing giving a free version at the time a lot of students are becoming users that on a future they are going to be licenced products (that?s business in response of what is nna going to earn) just like we were once, learning as you learn a native language, a primary cad its the same, the first language is easier always and you love it at this time vectorworks is the elite cad for mac my worries are simple sketchup is behind us and running faster wining us all new students so what do you think we should do?
  15. yes but what if improvments becames of users or other software companies? in my opinion from 2008 to 2010 there is almost no improvments the only real improvement are parasolids but render engine is sitll slow and ugly and my questions are: why vectorworks doesn?t have render engines like vray or maxwell? why companies like autodesk are doing free versions of software at least for iphone and maybe the ipad? why we do not have road map? what is going to happend if nemetschek has to sell the software, not for becoming a big company?
  16. i think we should start with a free version of the software http://techboard.nemetschek.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=136629#Post136629
  17. Im a user of this software since minicad 3 an i think vectorworks is becaming unpopular because: 1 it?s expensive because not all people needs the thousands of tools it has 2 interface is difficult for beginners with all of that unused tools 3 every one hates the usb key so i think nemetschek should consider to make a free version of the software, maybe just bidmensional like blueprint were once, just look sketchup is wining a lot of users and the 3dwarehouse library is amazing and the plugins library is great pros 1 new users that became potential buyers 2 piracy combat 3 with a lot of more users maybe the license could be more affordable 4 more plugins development 5 more forumsof training 6 with a basic set of tools beginners are going to learn faster cons 1 you will need more investment for attending all new users 2 at first i think you are going to lose money because not all of us requires the full version of the software but you can try with maybe just adding a basic tool set to viewer just to make a research with or with student license what do you think
  18. I hate vectorworks 2009 i love 2008 2009 looks more like autocad i can't even draw confortably
  19. This is my version that fixes problems with new MacBook Unibody Keyboard, i suggest for vectorworks 2010 to fix the problem with classes and layers since the fist numbers to use the same keys for function with views, an also wall autojoin and zoom line thicknes on a menu with a shortcut and tools grouped by function or name if you want to download the workspace look on www.lcda.org on course files with the previous registration
  20. 3 basic things for vectorworks 2010 shoud be: autojoin walls and zoom line thikness on the main window and attributes on info window
  21. This is the 2009 QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE These keyboard shortcuts are for macbook The workspace pretend you to work by groups of tools on the same line and a primary color for function keys and secondary color for a combined function keys for memorizing better for example modifiers and walls are on the same line and groups of similar funcions work also with the same key for example all windows open with the same key This workspace fixes the problem with the standad view of new macbook keyboards i hope work for someone who needs this
  22. If i have seen this before... i did a similar work a few weeks ago for my courses with an customized workspace
  23. I wrote to the developer and here is the answer "Here's the table and here are instructions to put all to work, ciao, Paolo" i include the new files for VW2008 of this great plug in
  24. I recently downloaded the weight info plug in from vectordepot vectordepot but it ask me for the specificWeightsTable.txt file does any one knows how to load this file or has this file and if i can load this info on the plug materials
  25. Yes i know that i made my own shortcuts workspace, but i can use opt key for flyover like in maya and modo or shift opt for pan
