macOS 14.4 Compatibility Issues with Vectorworks
JRMastera commented on JuanP's article in Tech Bulletins
Add my name to the list of suffering users on my MacBook Pro M1 (Second Display - Apple Thunderbolt Display. I'm just repeating some of the earlier comments just to reinforce that many people are silently having this problem. (and I do thank you folks who added some clues and workarounds to this thread - it's very helpful!): I've been having the slowing down/ crashing issue for over two years and spoken to Apple a few times. We finally realized that it was only Vectorworks that causes this, and when it does other apps crash or slow to about 30 to 40 second of waiting for every click. (I beleive we noticed that the Cache went nuts on VWorks when running.) When VWorks is not running, my life is good on my M1. My workaround is as already expressed in this thread: Shut Down and restart and sometimes it needs to be a Safe Restart. It is EXTREMELY annoying for us all! (A throw back to computers in the earlier 90's - I thought we were past that.). I didn't realize the second monitor used by Vectorworks was part of the issue - thank you for that clue. Anxiously awaiting the solution! As written above - things should just work - right Vectorworks????? -
I am actually looking for either.

Hi Guys; While you're talking databases....I am trying to simply put the window labels on a WIndow Schedule "Report" I created in numerical order. I'm getting nowhere. Can VW do it? (I imagine it can.) Ans if so, how?

Thanks Katie, but I need some solutions. You identified some problems, but I don't want to use Vectorworks (or any Cadd software for that matter) without using intensive graphics to make our drawings and renderings clear and exciting. So what ripping software do you suggest? Or what does Vectorworks offer to help its contingency print these tough to print things?

I am using OSX 10.3. The driver is the Print Center of the operating system.

I run Vectorworks Architect 10.5.1 on G3 and G4s. When we send a plot to print either out of Vectorworks or from Previewer or Adobe Acrobat, we find that sending the file from the computers to the Plotter (over and ethernet network 10/100/1000) takes forever. Recently an E size sheet took 50 minutes to plot (and I really didn't have that much information in the drawing). It sits in the status window "processing job" for much too long - usually 30 minutes. When it transfers the file over to the printer, it prints at normal speed. Can you help me speed things up? Also, is there away to use HPGL2 files out of Vectorworks? These move so much quicker.
