  1. OS X is around the corner. We plan to upgrade in full at my company. the combination of unix and Mac is just killer.

    When will the carbonized version of VectorWorks be released? Any timeframe so that we can start planning our move..

  2. Nevermind! Got it up and running in Classic without a hitch.... Had the QD3D libraries turned off...

    Works without a hitch...Although VW feels a little slow especially on the redraws and window resizing. Makes my Pismo G3/500 feel like a 604 at times... Anyways, Apple's not fine tuned the graphics drivers yet.

    The performance is very acceptable!

  3. I've noticed that the Zoom capability of VW 8.5.2 is not very reliable especially at high resolutions. Objects seem to appear fine in blocks (and nested blocks). But certain objects seem to disappear at random. upon zooming in the drawing. This is very, very aggravating.

    Anyone else have the same problems? BTW, I'm using a G4/500, 512 MB ram, ATI 128 with 32 MB VRAM. On a PC things seem to be even more unpredictable.

  4. Vectorworks has the BEST support of relative co-ordinates. I am ex user of AutoCAD and DesignCAD. I do not plan to look back on those peices of software ever again. Learn how to use the constraints palette and learn how to use the co-ordinate inputs in those little boxes on the top of the window.

    Spend a few mins playing around with the software, and I assure you that you will never go back!!

    BTW, I am just a satisfied user of the software and do not work for Diehlgraph.

  5. 1. The resource palette could use a better gui--Disclosure triangles for symbol folders and drag and drop ordering of symbols within the resource palette. Make it more finder like!

    2. Carbonize VW. OpenGL support on the Mac! I don't want to run VW in the classic environment anymore!

    3. Add class/layer transparency. Just like in Illustrator/Photoshop.

    3. Provide full AppleScript/VB support for those unwilling to learn VScript.

  6. I am looking to buy a computer for some of our cadworl. Most of the work is strictly 2D layout, mainly composed of large arrays of predefined symbols.

    Price for the CAD system is not an issue. What is the best platform for VW? I am considering a G4/500 and a Athlon 800. Any benchmarks comparisions will be welcome.
