Afternoon Our old friend of READ ONLY is back Issue was most prevalent on Vector works 2017. We felt issue was exasperated having a mix of MAC OS sierra & hi sierra We eventually had a stable network when we moved all machines to MACS Catalina Earlier this year we moved to Vector works 2021 all was still fine. This last month we have started moving to MACOS Monterey now we are getting this read only issue back. - NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE SERVER FOR YEARS, its still window server 2016. End result exactly as issues of 2018 - Previous threads > and Any thoughts / Suggestions please? Thanks i advance

arh! good stuff. many thanks for this That matrix is great, need to get it to popup high when google "vector works system requirements" if i saw this months ago would have saved me much work....

Morning Ive rebuilt a machine (macbook pro 2019) this machine previously had catalina on it with a working (poorly) vector works now i have reloaded the OS i cant re install vector works 2017. I have the latest sp2 installer, i just get the bouncing vector works logo. I see the system requirements https://www.vectorworks.net/sysreq?version=2017 is "Operating System" on this page correct / up to date? (ie i have installed this on 10.13 hi-sierra many times with no issue)

Were still frequently having these read only issues ref > Some users vector works takes a good 2 minutes to open, they normally think this is normal. However in still doing fault finding on the read only issue we are now doing wire sharks from the server. I have noticed that when opening vector works, it reads many files as the application opens. At first we thought it was all the files in "file - open recent", Once opened vector works has no drawings open, it can then be opened and used as normal The screen shot attached is a filtered pcap, give an idea of what file we see when the application is open. Test was just Start the mac > open vector works. At no point did we open finder or any other application / utils Any idea on how we can stop this behavior please? Environment is VW 2017 SP5 on Hi Sierra for all users

Afternoon to you, I now have logs from a client on this network exhibiting issues. To link things togeather, i also asked the same quiestion here > and we have a support case open with vector works support "support case: 00038553, RE: VWX files read only on SMB2 (having to run SMB1) " I will PM you these logs shortly and al submit to vector works

Hi there, We have moved from MAC server to Windows 2016 server Client machines are all MAC OS 10.12 or higher. Issue (only wirh vector works files) when we open a project it pops up readonly Even if we "save as" into the network share with a new file name, when opened again its readonly Other file types in the same folders (iee docx, xlsx & txt) open & edit fine (so its not a permissions thing) I have read this below, we are runnin glatest OS and SMB3 but still get the issue In the end to fix we disabled SMB2 (via Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB2Protocol $false ) I see this as a temporary fix, would like the improved performance of SMB2 & above Any suggestions please?
