Well the prices in portugal at least for now are: Vectorworks Architect 125€ monthly (No committments) 1500€ Yearly Vectorworks Design Suite 198€ Monthly (No Committments) 1980€ Yearly (Monthly 165€) Revit (Full) (although i believe when you get this licence you will have access to a AEC bundle of autodesk) 492€ Monthly 3225€ Yearly (monthly 269€) Revit LT (For small business that don't need a lot of the full version features is very compelling) 599€ Yearly Archicad Studio 1659€ + 23% VAT (138€ Monthly) Archicad Collaborate 1951 + 23% VAT (163€ Monthly) Overall the VW continues to be the best and cheaper option, although for a small business the REVIT LT is a very compelling option, but these are the prices today, which who knows in the future.

There are a few "other" ways to make it run on the mac, but nativelly is not possible that was my cue! 🙂

Revit is not compatible with MAC the other option you would have is ArchiCAD

I think the issue here is that if the first option is chosen, the word PERPETUAL loses it's true meaning, I would be happier with the dongle version of the key and no responsability in case of lost/damage/something happened to it (dog ate it, chewed it,etc) situations, and it would be the sole user to maintain and care for the device. Even if there would be a need for a small patch i still think that the source code is still available inside the company that can be changed, i believe... But this situation also might be subject to Copies?? I'm not sure how safe these dongles are to prevent copies of it, but this might be an issue, but then again it's for an older version of the software and not being mantained anymore... (i know but still under copyright licence and obviously it's illegal to copy dongles) Just another opinion on the matter.

WOW Another portuguese around these parts 🙂 Glad to know... ALthough the only comment i have, is the perpectual licence will be valid as long as you have the OS software/Hardware to run it, this is so far what i've always gotten from their communications, what will happen is that the software will receive around 7 or 8 SP updates and left for the new version, but even after these SP updates end the software continue to work and being accepted on their "Phone Home licence request" when activating the installation and every 30 days.

Hi all, I'm an Uk architect with 7 years experience in Vectorworks (also a beta tester). My main experience has been in Building regulations applications from RIBA stage 4 onwards. If there is any opportunities please let me know by private message and i can provide my contacts.

I also have that option set to on by default i didn't even knew it was there!

I have the 14.5 on my M1 MacBook Pro and use it connected to a UW monitor and haven't got any issues so far, but again I haven't printed from it just publish to pdf's... If there is anything I could test it out... let me know!

Hopefully the team is already testing the Sequoia OS and the issues with the 14.5 are gone?

While I appreciate the adding new tool, I know that there is a way to select the tags easily with the magic wand, I need to enter on a test mode to find it out and then save it as settings. I was also trying to see if anyone was having the same issues and if so, I would create a VE for the tool, if this makes sense?

Hi all, I'm finding it hard to shrink the options on the similar tool to just select the data tags I want for example windows data tag instead of all data tags. If I use the OBJECT TYPE and CLASS only for example when I click on top of the data tag it won't select anything, and the options I have on the tool palette are Select Any Object Mode, and I've tried with both Modes. Any suggestions??? what would be the best options here: (image as example) If I select the SYMBOL option (which DATA TAGs are not) it always shows this image:

EDIT: A question, does this happen when connected to external screen only? If you're having so many issues, I would advise in getting a Time Machine for your Mac, and then revert back to the previous update, although this action will wipe your Mac and install the version of the OS you choose. (Time Machine is quite important) How to revert to a previous update Go to Apple menu > Restart. Press and hold Command+R until you see the Apple logo. Choose Reinstall macOS from macOS Utilities. The version of macOS that came with your Mac will be installed, and you can then download updates from Apple to update it to the version you want.

ufff 30mb...

Always found the print from vw a bit strange, specially because I've used Autocad so much in earlier years that for some reason I can't seem to get on with vw print style, I've done a few times but always came out weird!

I have my M1 MacBook Pro and when I use it at home I haven't found any issues so far and I've updated to there 14.4.1 without knowing of these issues, but I will keep a lookout. (although I don't usually print directly from vw I publish first to PDF and then I print using the preview/pdf reader) My setup at home is the M1 connected to a UW screen from Alienware.
