Yes it seems to be specific to lighting device objects. It also seems to be impossible to group a truss or something with a light and move that. Will revert back to 2023 until this is solved.

I just updated to 2024 and am experiencing what I think is a bug. When I group symbols and change the x, y or z of the group the box moves but not the symbols. This is extremely frustrating as I use this method a lot in my work flow. I have restarted and tried doing this from a blank file - same result. Any idea what is wrong here?

Sure thing. How do I do this?

Thanks for your responses. So I did a full re-install. Same problem though. I did some more digging and it seems like everything I delete a group of objects and undo that action it crashes. If the objects are not in a group it works fine. Very strange and don't really know why this is happening...

I recently bought a new Macbook Pro M2 Max, 96 GB - running MacOS Ventura 13.2.1. Furthermore, I decided to update to VW 2023, SP4 while I was at it. Now, Vectorworks has always been a little crashy for me but this is something else. Pretty much every 5th time or so I hit undo it crashes at the blink of an eye. I will reload the project and try the same action and it works. Until about 2 minutes later when it crashes after hitting undo from some other action. This is is extremely annoying and really messing up my workflow as I am starting to hit CMD+S between every single change I make to make sure I don't lose any more work. This is happening across multiple projects and I have tried doing a repair through VWX updater. Any other suggestions?? /Anders

Yes, it is. I tried some Eurotruss and a different type of Prolyte truss and they work. And now if I try the H30V, it works just fine. Extremely odd...

Spoke too soon... It seems as though if I use the same length of truss everything works. But as soon as I switch to a different length or shape this happens. This is the only option to connect it.

Thanks for this, problem solved but don't really understand how it came up in the first place. The 3m H30V did not have "compatible with" filled in. I entered it manually, and now it works. But it still doesn't say compatible with. Very odd! But thanks for your help!

It seems like it works if I use a 2m stick of truss but as soon as I try to use the 3m it won't let me. Is this just a glitch or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your response, however this is selected. I tried a bunch of different truss and the 4-way cross works on itself but I can't connect 2 straight trusses together? I also can't connect the 4-way to an appropriate point. See attached pictures.

This is probably a very basic question. Somehow I have lost all functionality with truss snapping into place. I never get the highlighted options when I try to connect truss and it is extremely frustrating. Auto connect is enabled and I am using the same type of truss. Does anyone know something I don't know? I am in Top view trying to connect two pieces of truss together without zooming and fine tuning 🤦🏻‍♂️

Does anyone know if you can link groups? Say that I have a group with a few objects and I copy that group a bunch of times, apply rotation etc. Can I arrange it so that if I modify one group, they all change?
