Ahh there it is, confirmed as a bug on Windows. This issue does not occur on Mac. Checked and looks like it was filed along with a few other keyboard shortcut issues VB-156487

This is what I found with the cloth shader as well. This, along with a few other values like blur quality, are too strongly tied to the overall AA setting and need to give the user more direct control. For instance, some rendering applications let you set the AA value for different effects independently, which may be a good solution. I'll check and make sure I filed a formal request (I came across this kind of this before the summit during prep) for it.

Well, semi good news: I am not aware of any changes made to the space bar control in the last few years, so likely what you're running into can be fixed. Did this just happen suddenly after a certain patch or version? Or did it just start out of nowhere?
-
No changes on this end. I've been getting a lot of unrelated reports of self-resolving safari weirdness on Nomad and in the Help, but I mainly use chrome personally cross platform.

It's not linked to Vectorworks or anything like that, users just update their signatures whenever they need to. That same link above should let you edit yours.
-
Most people put their specs in their signatures, which should be enabled and visible by default for everyone. If you DON'T see signatures, you should be able to go here:
https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/settings/signature/
and re-enable them with the switch near the top. Unless I have completely misunderstood the question? -
How many documents do you keep open on a regular basis in Vectorworks? Do you keep this lower than you would like because of limitations in Vectorworks? What kind of work are you doing when you have multiple files open at a time?

Contact tech@vectorworks.net about this directly, you can reference this thread to save time. Unfortunately your account does seem stuck, you haven't done anything wrong, I'm not able to override it here either but they have more options.

Close both applications, then reset the preferences specifically for 2019 via the below steps:
Then, launch just 2019 on it's own and tell me if the smartcursor cues dont reappear. If they don't, I will likely need this from your machine:

Your trial key should be emailed automatically to the email you used to sign up for the trial with, however you will have to contact them directly if you don't see it, I do not have admin control over accounts in Brazil:

Thank you all!
As everyone here knows; my work on this forum is solely the product of my favorite perk of working at Vectorworks Inc: Unlimited Free Coffee. After some quick celebratory math, I have tallied up that the forum itself was fueled by 587.21 Gallons of delicious, beany goodness flowing through my veins. Not a bad MPG rating really. ☕
The platform itself functions because of my and the moderator's daily work and button pressing, but the community itself functions because of all of you and your willingness to help others and work together. Of all the projects I've been a part of since I began working here, the one that brings us together and allows us to teach and learn from each other is easily the one I'm proudest of.-

I honestly like the effect, reminds me of The Matrix.
But in all seriousness, theres a really cool tech that can almost do this we've been experimenting with:
And I can almost guarantee that engineer's moment of inspiration was looking at one of these half finished light phase renders!-

Do you get the same performance decrease on the nvidia card when you only use that machines integrated display? Some laptops force the usage of the integrated intel card for external displays, according to your dxdiag, both your displays are currently utilizing the intel GPU at the moment.
-
What method were you using to switch between the Intel GPU and the Nvidia dedicated GPU?

Hi,
VW Architect 2018, Imac 27" Mojave 10.14.2
When I start to dimension in a viewport annotation using either chain dimension or single dimension the program freezes and I have to force quit.
I opened a new file and pasted in the object hat I want to dimension and have the same issue. I can use chain dimension for a longer period of time (two or three dimensions) before VW freezes again
Interestingly, the file will not show up in " open recent" when I restart VW even though it is saved and appears on the desktop.
Has anyone else had that problem? Any ideas?
I recommend performing a backup and full reset as described here:
I have had quite a few users on Mojave need to do this after the 10.14.2 and 10.14.3 updates. -

Welcome! No, the educational version is functionally identical to the full professional version other than it's watermarks.
You may just need to go to View > Rendering > OpenGL to get the view you're expecting. -
@M5dThe benchmarking referred to in this thread is not the benchmarking of hardware nor the effect of hardware on the software, but the benching of versions compared directly against eachother.
As suggested further above, in identical files on identical hardware, to give an idea of whether the software itself is slowing down as releases progress. I plan to do this testing and post it, I hypothesize that for things like geometry calculation and duplication, we will see speeds increase for 2015, and then remain very much the same until today on the same hardware under the same test conditions, we will see if that pans out. This information is as valuable to me in working to improve the software as it is to you all in your decision of whether to purchase in the first place, upgrade regularly, or to choose another package entirely. I don't want anyone using Vectorworks that doesn't feel it is worth its cost, and I am not personally willing to deceive people in order to drive sales.
Whether I like a tone or not is immaterial. It is imperative that this forum be kept clean of false accusations and misinformation. If there is information I posses that I do not release, it is because that information is still covered under NDA. The things you are saying are incredibly important and need to be said, thank you for saying them, it is only the tone and the accusation of intentional deception that I have to take issue with. Lets just drop this portion of the debate entirely and keep working to make things better. -

I know specific queries about that graph are probably exactly not what you wanted to encourage by posting it - but is it indexed to number of users? That is, if in a certain week you see a similar number of crashes in 2018 SP5 and 2019 SP2, but there are at that point 10 times as many users sticking with 2018 as have moved to 2019, then that means 2019 is crashing ten times as much, if you see what I mean.
That chart isnt, no, it's strictly volume of crashes in total.
When we do the mega charts internally this is shown followed by comparisons like crashes-per-day-per-user. We also have to account for other things like time of year (December and January are generally quiet in terms of how many people are using the software) as well as things like OS compatibility. For instance, there were a huge load of crashes related specifically to Mojave, but we can also separate the Windows and Mac data to see if it really is a spike just because of the OS or if crash rate is raising or lowering independent of the OS.
I actually love the heck out of our analytics tracking, and engineering has been repeatedly doubling down on it. For instance, I got a real morale boost when we started discussing how "Quality is not a Switch" and not something that will simply exist or not exist within a version, but something that must be tracked and catered to as much as any other aspect. We always cared before of course, but now we care AND have tools to back up our decisions with data.
1 minute ago, mjm said:Can that chart be drilled down to show filtered by machine type (MBP 15" late 2015, for ex) or by os, etc?
It doesn't go by machine year that I am aware of, but we can indeed peel off and look at JUST iMac Pro configurations, or MacBook Pro, etc and then effectively sort out specific ones by CPU or GPU options. It's less easy on the Windows side since there are so many configurations, but on that side we can also split it up by GPU or CPU to see if there's a hardware specific trend. We have a lot of alerts set up now to warn us ASAP if something like "Anyone with a GTX 9800 is doomed" happens after an update for instance.
I can share and discuss these metrics to some extent, but there are things I am not permitted to reveal because of our user privacy rules, which I am more than happy to abide by. Too many companies let that stuff slip these days. I will gladly answer all questions related to it that I can within that ruleset.

Sorry Jim, but if you have 86 bugs fixed related to Space Objects, why do not you release them now without waiting for sp3?
We cant just send the fixed ones back one at a time, they have to be pushed in a build.
Eventually, we want to be able to correct them piecemeal and then send the updates out and have it patch in the background so you never even know you had a bug, but our tech and process aren't ready for that yet.
