Dear vectorworks please stop making upgrades that AREN'T UPGRADES ! 2024 is a massive workflow disaster and disruption. You've moved all the menus, NOT made them customizable, AND changed the icons? Does anyone who actually drafts for a living have any input on these changes? Because these are unnecessary and unnecessary. seriously - please make this horrible top menu customizable - this is bad for workflow, and has cost me so much time and added some serious frustration to an already hectic workload. For example - saved views being all the way to the left at the top does me no good - i like it in the middle - i should be able to move this to where it works best. Snapping at the top? why ? when i'm drawing it's more helpful to have it at the bottom, or again, customizable ! There was no logical reason to make these things static and in completely different locations than they were in the previous version to me, nothing here is an upgrade. What i want in an upgrade is a program that runs better, faster, exports and imports smoother, where the tools become more sensitive and useful, where i can group layers, have assignable attributes to symbols so i can see a single symbol in different line weights and styles . . . i do not care about the look i do not care about the icon design i DO care about how the above has messed up my workflow and costed me time . . . which means money. Not a fan . . . -Erica

Hi so it seems that yet again Vectorworks has deleted a function that is a drafting standard for set theatre designers, not to mention not harming a fly. . . I USED to be able to make custom section markers in my annotations, for example when making staggered cut lines through walls where you also want to cut through a window that's not on CL I'm now no longer able to manipulate or draw the cut line in the section marker (don't even get me started on the red link symbol not going away). It won't even let me move the marker away from the vertical cut line. Am i missing something or have you deleted this option? I've resorted to copy and pasting my section lines from older files, but this seems like a choice made by someone who doesn't know industry standards . . . please advise, as i also TEACH drafting for theatre, and this is actually something i usually include and now i'm at a loss . . .
