  1. Hi In 2 different files I have an object that cannot be selected. I need to delete them as they are no longer correct. Both are floors. I can see the floor in Unified view of the design layer but cannot select it to edit it or delete. When unified view is turned on, the floor disappears so again it is cannot be selected thus edited or deleted. I have restarted VW and the computer and done a repair of VW using the update application and am still having the same issue. All classes are visible and editable for the design layer. The objects are visible in plan view but not in 3d views even though they are floors. They are highlighted if I do a select all but still cannot select them individually. This issue started after I recently updated to 2024. The Unified View now shows in the tool bar. Maybe a new functionality of unified view that is affecting the objects? Any suggestions? Thanks
  2. Hi all Just wondering if this is just happening to me. I am using VW 2023 on a 2020 MacBook Pro. I am finding that the drop down menus do not work on opening a file which is very handicapping. The tools work fine but not the menus. The drop downs work on the Finder and on other programs even though they are not working in VW. Quitting and restarting VW only fixes fix it sometimes. Restarting the computer only fixes it sometimes. Copying the file to another computer worked on one occasion but that computer is now too slow for VW however, when I copied the file back to my laptop, the drop down menus worked. I cannot see a pattern in when it does not work and it happens on all files large or small. I have also checked for latest updates etc and the MacOS system is up to date and I have run the VW repair program. Anyone had this problem and found a solution? Thanks
  3. I own an A3 printer but not a large format printer. I am having trouble saving PDFs for sizes bigger than A3 to be printed elsewhere. I have tried setting up a custom page for A2 & A1 but it keeps jumping to being more than 1 page both horizontally and vertically. If I set it to only 1 page the print size no longer shows as the correct size. "Exporting to PDF" and setting print as 1 page works rather than using print then "Save as PDF" but that means I cannot use Publish to print multiple pages I have the same problem on someone else's Vectorworks licence and computer and this seems to have been more problematic since VW 2022. I have tried downloading a driver for a large format printed but the driver is not showing in the printer options - presumably because I do not actually have the printer for it to recognise. Has anyone else had the same issue? Any solutions? Can anyone suggest a good generic large format printer? Thanks
  4. Hi all I had a hard drive file but was able to recovered the file using a recovery program - most of the files were extracted well but I was left with folders full of ZIP files - I do not use ZIP much so I suspected they were my VW files. I tried a couple of ZIP extraction programs but one said that the file was not in fact a ZIP file. The problem is that the VW files have been saved as ZIP files - presumably because the program did not recognise a VW file. I have tried changing the suffix from .zip to .vwx but Vectorworks still cannot open the file. i was able to "unzip" a file so that I could the images within the file confirming that these ZIP files are in fact VW files. Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions?
