Hmm, do you mean this in relation to the size? I have not set my cursor size to large (it is always set at the smallest size) and it is only and exclusively in VW 24 that this larger cursor is occurring, which is why I am a bit confused! I had checked those cursor settings as my very first troubleshoot, and all have remained normal throughout. I wasn't sure if therefore it was a glitch and the way that VW 24 is dealing with my computer, or if VW24 has updated resolution settings that is making it confused about my true screen resolution. However if that was the case, I wouldn't expect it to occur on just the drawing space, but rather the whole VW window? Many thanks 🙂

Ah, the cursor changing colour is just a custom setting! I have just changed that for visibility. Also sorry, I also mentioned above but perhaps it wasn't clear - the screen recording is not showing accurately where I am clicking, and for some reason showing the cursor off to one side when I draw - this is not happening in real life which is odd. So, I think disregard the screen recording and instead to refer to is the two photos of the screen I attached? The only thing I am concerned about is the cursor size changing only on the Vectorworks drawing space exclusively, and only on VW 2024. Also I know my computer isn't great but does get by. I wouldn't be using it if I didn't have to unfortunately££££££ Many thanks 🙂

That is strange - I have also realised the size difference does not appear on the screen recording as it is to me: have attached two images of what I am seeing on my monitor. Perhaps it is something to do with screen resolution and display settings that are not being translated to the drawing area, but are the rest of the VW space? Many thanks

Hiya, Thank you but I am on Windows! And have changed no settings, just installed the new VW 2024 and it started happening. Here is a screen recording - unfortunately I also forgot my mouse today so dealing with just the trackpad today haha! (although for some reason on the recording the mouse is not in the same exact positions as when I recorded, as you can see when I select the drawing options. Haven't done a screen recording before so maybe it did something wrong!) Vectorworks Architect 2024 - [Untitled 5] 2024-01-15 14-43-00.mp4

Coming into this thread from 2024 as it seems there is now something going on with the cursor size (I imagine it's trying to be like autocad?) Whenever I hover over the drawing space, the cursor gets larger. I don't want this to happen! Is there a way to disable this to be like previous versions?

Bumping again for 2023! I just want my too tightly kerned font to be set to default 160% tracking instead of having to edit it every time ;-; Will this have any luck?

Resource Manager doesn't stick to second monitor
anniemitch replied to ViolaB's question in Troubleshooting
Was a solution found to this? I have also had my resource manager disappearing off the face of the earth, to not reappear if toggled off/on in palettes menu - which implies the menu is open somewhere, but impossible to find (does not appear again when minimising / shrinking window, etc) It took me ages to get it back the last time it did this, but now it has done it again and I have no idea what eventually helped me get it back last time! And I'd rather not reset my workspace. This is on VW23 -
Yep, I'm having this problem in viewports too!!

@zoomer Thanks! Ill try that with the reflections now. I'm not sure how to do those crops - I just want to match the viewport to the same aspect ratio/view as what I'm seeing in the design layer - but when moving to a viewport it takes on the aspect ratio settings from the camera, that I didn't see originally in the design layer. I've been trying to find one that matches but didn't know what the quickest way to achieve the same layout as my design layer in my viewport would be? Also I am finding that my exports from the viewport are of a much lower quality - does the size of the viewport on the page affect this? How do I set it up so its the same quality as what I'm seeing when exporting from my design layer? Thank you!!

@BSeigel Sorry to bombard but I have just adjusted these settings, to apply reflections of the Mostly Sunny HDR, as well as a low value in environment lighting - however my window is still showing up as that murky brown/ green colour (in the very far left, seen reflected) as before, and pictured below.... is there anything else I'm missing? I'm still rendering from my design layer as I haven't quite figured out the viewport rendering, if that would make a difference.... also my indirect lighting value is set to 4 bounces, would this affect it? Thanks
-
@BSeigel I have figured out how to create a viewport from my camer view; but the viewport is a different aspect ratio to my design layer view and so is cropping the top and bottom parts of my image and making it narrower. Does this setting change in the viewport? Or does it export as normal once rendered, ignoring this crop? Thanks

Hi, Newbie here; I am currently trying to export a render of my work as an image file - however whenever I choose the settings and then save, it works for a little while (with the timer counting for a while) and then Vectorworks goes into 'not responding' mode. This has happened every time that I've tried to export. At the risk of losing work I have just left it, and after about 5 hours it unfreezes and the image saves; but surely this is not necessary!! I am exporting at around a 4000x2000 px size, and have tried down to 75dpi (where it has still frozen.) Is there a way to fix this? Thanks
-
@BSeigel Ok thanks, I'll give that a go. Also in terms of rendering within a viewport - I am currently rendering from a camera view. How to I achieve this in a viewport to render from? Thanks!
-
@BSeigel I am using the 'Custom Renderworks' setting for my renders at the moment - can I change those settings through that menu? Also I am on windows so have different menus to you! Does environment lighting mean that it will light the whole room? I essentially would like a brighter reflection where it is pictured, without affecting the lighting I have so far.. if anything its too bright already! And if so and I just used it in the environment reflections setting, does this mean it will just show in reflections but not in lighting? Still trying to get my head around it all!
-
@BSeigel I do actually have one other question - I have a HDRI background outside a window (from the view above, it is behind the camera on the back wall on the right. You can slightly see it showing up in the reflections on the far left of the rendering - I put it there so it would be able to be seen in the reflections facing it; however as you can see its kind of an odd brown colour... this HDRI setting is Daytime Mostly Sunny so I'm not sure why its not showing up right … Do I need to enable it somehow in the render settings? And also, will this affect the overall lighting balance inside my room? ( I want it to stay as close as possible to how I have it now!) Thanks!
