Failing all of that, this issue is often corrected on Macs by going to Tools>Options>VectorWorks Preferences, under the Display tab, and toggling the setting for "Quartz Imaging" While you're there, make sure "Hardware Accelerated 2D Navigation" is on as well.

If you have a professional copy you can call customer service and they can perform a platform switch, the same disk will work for Mac/Win but the pro serial numbers are keyed to a specific OS. If you're using the EDU version then it can run on either OS with one serial number.

Fred, There is an easier way to do this by adding the title block to your default content and using the Issue Manager. Please view the following video tech tips: Custom Title Block: http://kbase.nemetschek.net/index.php?ToDo=view&questId=163&catId=29 Issue Manager: http://kbase.nemetschek.net/index.php?ToDo=view&questId=168&catId=29

Mike, Go to the VW Preferences, then click the Display tab and try turning on Hardware Accelerated 2D Navigation. Also try toggling the Quartz Imaging from whatever its current setting is set to.

Joe, Go to Help > About VectorWorks then click the Check for updates button to update to SP3. Also try turning off GDI Imaging.

mcobbs, Please send a copy of the file to tech@nemetschek.net for further troubleshooting. Please include your OS, and current build of VW. Thanks,

My apologies for not being clear in the previous post. Open Type fonts are not supported when using the GDI Imaging options. If you are having trouble using a specific font please contact tech support, tech@nemetschek.net, so that we further investigate the problem.

Kevin, Assigning different wall components to different classes was a new feature of VW 2008. So is not available in VectorWorks 12.

Simon, If you use Stack Layers instead of layer links you can set any layers opacity independently of the other layers.

Sarah, I did not get any returned emails while testing the Student Services email, please try again. Also as Pat mentioned, VectorWorks 12.5.3 is not available for educational users. So please request a copy of VectorWorks 2008, so that you are compatible with Leopard.

Chris, What build of VW 2008 are you running?

Just to clarify, some Open Type fonts may work but VectorWorks only supports True Type and Post Script fonts.

CS1, As some of the other posters have stated many of these problems are and settings or training related. I am fowarding these problems to NNA Tech Support, so that we can better assist you with these issues.

Dworks, I am able to duplicate this issue and will be forwarding the information along to engineering team. I will reply back with a workaround if one becomes available.

Lightnb, Refer the user that sent you the file to Student Services at studentservices@nemetschek.net to have the files converted. Also have the user include there serial number in the email so that he/she can be sent a new serial number to prevent this issue in the future.

When unknown fonts are loaded, they will always be set initially to change to whatever the default font is for the OS.

If you have had your license for less than 30 days, the platform switch is free.

Daniel, Please send your problematic file to tech@nemetschek.net for better assistance with this problem.
