I don't see Vectorworks on an iPad as a very useful solution, it could though be a solution for some exceptional cases. the 2 handed operating of Vectorworks shouldn't be an issue since iPads can be operated by a mouse and a keyboard.

We also lost the ability to edit the reference. In the old system, we could add comments. Those user comments have been very useful to me, and I suppose to many others.

There's no way to get a material parameter with a resource dropdown in the Object Info Palet. It is only possible in a dialog. So you should create a OIP button to open a dialog box where you can set the material(s).

I was never able to solve it. even in Python PIO's it is impossible to add a material dropdown in the object info palette....

Dag Koen, als je Vectorworks met interiorcad hebt en je bent op zoek naar een oplossing om je met interiorcad uitgetekende objecten door je CNC machine te laten maken, dan is 2Wop een oplossing. Na de configuratie van 2Wop voor jouw CNC machines, maakt 2Wop de files an die je in je CNC machine kunt inladen om je panelen automatisch te frezen en boren.

Beste Koen, Je kan best even contact opnemen met Design Express, de verdeler voor Vectorworks en Interiorcad voor de Benelux.

That tool definitely is a ComputerWorks tool. It is much more powerful than the US tool.

And use ´view tool sets as icons'. You can also just drag an tool set from the main palette. And even dock the tear-off palette in the interface as you like. So you could reach the desired interface without entering the workspace editor.

I am using Keyboard Maestro all the time and my right-click just works perfectly in 2025, Mac OS 15.1. The difference I read is: I richt-click to open the contextual menu, then left-click on the needed action. When doing a right-click-drag over the appearing contextual menu and release over the needed action, it doesn't work in 2025. In 2024 it did. I never used the right-click-drag before so I didn't notice this flaw.

It should be possible with the data manager. There you can add records to all plugin and buit-in types, all symbols and all objects in defined classes.

Thanks Pat, didn't remember that one 🧐

Hi all, I need to get a handle to the material that is connected to a (wall) component. When I use bRes, iMat = vs.GetComponentMaterial(hWall, iComponent) where hWall is the wall and iComponent is the component index, I get a boolean and a longint. That longint should be the material... I thought hMat = vs.GetResourceFromList(iRLMat, iMat) would return me a handle to the Material, but apparently the resource index needed here isn't the same as the material I get from the first call. Any ideas to get the material handle?

Hi Julian, I think I have a command containing a list box with about 1500 lines. Not sure where the limit is.

One can't actually choose it's language in Vectorworks. Issue solved by phone 🙂

Hi Peter, I see you are situated in the Netherlands. Which version are you using, the US version or the Dutch version?
