hey guys, after 4 downloads from the NNA site i have finally been able to succesfully update VW9. i guess i was just getting bumb dowloads... anyway, thank u for trying.

i'm running 10.1.5. our office hasnt gone jag yet because we were waiting for VW9.5.3. any suggestions?

i have to reinstall for the upgrade!?!? oookkaaaaayyy.... i'll give it a shot. thank you.

i downloaded the VW 9.5.3 update and i get the error message " An unexpected error occured while installing 'vectorworks'. 1008:17,-4" has this happened before? i followed the instuctions... turned off all the other apps, left the browser on... do i need to be running osX.2 before i update VW? appreciate the time. pedro

too strong. back to work.

katie, i may have some news on this click shift issue. i switched monitors with suzanne because she claimed mine was fuzzy and she no longer needed hers. when i connect my CPU to her old monitor i get her click shift problem. Meanwhile, her CPU is cured with my old monitor. I get another monitor (from a third machine) and connect it to my CPU and i no longer have the click shift. In this office, i can begin to conclude that suzanne's old monitor was the culprit. it seems to be a long shot but i dont know that much about video/ monitor stuff to really asses these facts and draw any other conclusion. the monitor in question is a viewsonic GS773 series. the two working ones are Viewsonics G773 and E773. i'm going to run a couple more tests at lunch to see if this holds anymore water. as fun as this is i have to get back to work. pedro

im tiling pages on an 11x17 printer before i go to plot 24x36. i want the printer to print a sequence of pages... you know like 1,2,3....etc. to make up the big picture. is there any way that i can have the page breaks print from left to right as opposed to top to bottom? it may sound silly but a have good reason for doing so. thank u

yup. i thought that was a feature....! three or four restarts in the morning usally allieviates the symptoms. PowerMac G4 450OS 10.1.5VW 9.5.2Carbon Lib: ? (see Other Post "dimension Demensia")

cool beans guys tas-ah-mookah

any way to trick it into doing the opposite? portrait 123456789 ???

are you serious kT? well the only difference is the processor. otherwise they are identical PowerMac G4's (400 and 450 Mhz) Same software, Same OS, Same Video Card I will ask what you mean by Carbon Lib.... both machines were running 9.2.2 before the jump to X....i'm not sure how to answer that part of your question. what about you TS... are you having RC problems on a PowerMac G4 450 w/640MB Ram, Running OSX.1.5 on VW 9.5.2? might be something there you know?

i dont think you're following katie.... the RC tool doesn't get far enough for a big cloud. it just disappears to the selection tool the moment the mouse clicks on the screen. its strange... some machines in the office have the problem... some dont... all are configured with the same VW and system software.....

thanks for the verdict matthew. i guess i'll manage by breaking thiem up in layers.... maybe..... hey richard... vocal aren't we?

No system is fool-proof suzanne... and that's no excuse to stop solving problems within systems.... anyone else know about working with multiple dim. classes?

is it possible to have multiple dimesion classes? I am working on a drawing that requires two different sets and my dimesions always default to the Original Dimension Class instead of the active class. I would like to not have to resort to layers if possible...

yes siree bob there is a way... turn off your "adjust flipped text" option in your VW display preference panel. after that... you can manipulate yo text hows evah you wan'....

obviously you dont know the parameters required... computers are design to handle computations. this would be but another series of computations. computers are not going to "freak out". have you seen the new OS for mac....? do we need all those silly graphics? no. but there they are. perhaps it is the users that freak out... not the machines.... with love, pedro

i understand this may be a tall order. many other graphic applications provide previews of their files in the "open file window" for the Mac OS enviorment (ie photoshop, illustrator, quark....) is it possible that someday when i go to open a VW file i can see a preview of the file in the little window by its name? hey... its "WISH" list right?

really? i never looked at it that way? does that mean that NNA provided patches or updates for all of the three major iterations of OSX? I never realized that they were working that hard. so far i've gone from 10.0.3 to 10.1.5 and have not needed any patches from NNA. Guess i've been lucky.

a restart of the program? when would this apply? i'm curious because i've been experiencing some lag after working on VW for long periods of time. i tend to just save and restart every 3 hrs or so.

ahhhhh......that explains volumes. tas a mooka. (thanks)

odd.... join command is still command "j".... as for nudge, they did switch that one to "shift + arrow". i think it actually works better this way. good luck with join though.....

katie- what was the problem? is the patch still availible on this site? I havn't experienced any problems yet. I'm curious to see what it solves. thanky you.

well put. one would assume that it would be NNA's responsibility to keep up with the platforms they claim to support.
