Well gentleman, turning off Disabled Interactive Scaling Mode seemed to fix the disappearing handle issues in objects and in text. No bug, just user error. Humble pie is on the menu today for me. I'm not sure how that came about. I had to switch machines and loaded a new copy of VWX so somehow in the process I selected that option. So, good day and thank you for the help.

Zoomer, where is Desired Mode? I've never heard of that. I use Vectorworks Architect so it may not apply. See my settings above. Quick update: this no handles issue also applies to text boxes. I can't reshape them using the handles. I have to enter the Width distance in the Object Info box which makes for quite a bit of back and forth and time wasting because using the handles I can see exactly what I want in real time and not have to bother with trial and error. I also didn't get an email on the topic replies even though I asked to be sent an email? Not sure what is going on with that but right now, I don't care about that. The no handles thing is killing me ( I know, get in line but still...). Thanks everybody!

Quick update to my last post. I turned everything off under VW Preferences>Interactive>Highlighting and the handles came back.....but they don't work as they are supposed to. I have to double click or use the reshape command. I got excited there for a minute but sigh the issue still exist. Handles are one of the many things that makes VW's so much better than CAD. Thanks.

Hi Gunther, I attached a three screenshots to show how this bug is on my end. It's making my drawing frustrating to be honest. I'm glad I'm not alone in this. Is there a work around I can do for the dimension issue? I have to recreate the dimension every time instead of just moving the handle. I hate associated dimensions so I'm not using that. I've been using VW's since 2006 and I've never seen this. I also attached me settings. If you see something that can be changed to resolve this please let me know. Please work on this as soon as you guys can. Thanks so much! Shoot me an email if I can help / guinea pig in any way. Thanks!

This has happened to me since I started using VW's 2022. I go to print and the text for my dimensions doesn't show up on my PDF. If I restart the program, it fixes it for a time. So, every time I have to print, I have to restart. It only happens on dimensions with fill behind them. Which, I need to cover up line work. One of the things I love about VW's. I've been using VW's for on and off 16 years and never seen this. Any ideas? I attached screenshots of PDF's of the exact same file before and after I restarted. Thanks. Bill VW's 2022 SP2.1

Hi everyone, Not sure this is the best place for this but I'm having issues with working / layer planes as well. I typically just use 2d drawing and don't use working planes. For some reason, my drawing will switch on me and go from layer plane to working plane. I'm drawing and all of a sudden there's a big pink box in my work space and things just don't seem like they are working right. Drives me crazy. I have to turn it back to layer plane. I've turned off all the hot keys to anything related to working plane. Also, I use a MacBook Pro and have a separate keyboard with numerical pad. My number keys occasionally change to a different view on me even though I've turned off those as well. There are a couple more bugs I see but don't pertain to this topic. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill VW's 2022 SP2.1 Build 627588 64 Bit
