@Tom W. You should be on the VW payroll given how many times you've answered VW2026 wall questions.

Also, you can click "Continue" whenever you restart VW and it should work just fine.

I’m not seeing a problem with my M2 Macbook Air, although I don’t work on huge files. I am usually in clamshell mode and I never use the laptop screen for VW when it is open, so maybe it would be more noticeable if I had a different use case.

I have a barely used Spacemouse Wireless + Cadmouse Wireless kit (mouse pad is missing) available if anyone is interested. Feel free to DM me to make an offer.

There are some new “featured” classes that were added. That is, if you want to pay for them (even if you still have Service Select)

It looks like Update 4 will become the "new normal" for the appropriate time to switch to new versions.

When tools are moved to Legacy status they should also be removed from the default Workspaces, minimizing the likelihood that new users will use them.

The risk of inadvertent use would be too high. The Workspace Editor is the right way to go, and it has seen some usability improvements (notably a search function) recently.

Another thought, this would be easier to find on VW University and the VW Help system. I suggest cross posting the video at those location.

I'm still on VW2024, so I haven't figured out the issues with 2026 Walls yet, but @jblock posted an official VW video (not on VWU) that may help: There's also a video on VWU: https://university.vectorworks.net/course/view.php?id=4072

No. Data Tags read the information that is already in the objects, so you can turn off the ID Tags and display the same info with Data Tags. They also work for many other objects, so you only really have to learn to use them once. There are prebuilt Data Tags in the Resource Manager which you can use as-is or modify graphically and/or the data displayed to create your own. The biggest learning curve is if you want to customize Data Tags. The VW Help files for Door ID Tags also points in the direction of Data Tags: Here are some resources at VWU that might help: https://university.vectorworks.net/course/index.php?mycourses=0&tagfilter[category]=0&tagfilter[type]=0&tagfilter[difficulty]=0&search="data+Tag"&langfilter[]=0 https://university.vectorworks.net/course/index.php?mycourses=0&tagfilter[category]=0&tagfilter[type]=0&tagfilter[difficulty]=0&search="data+driven+documentation"&langfilter[]=0#coursestab

Works for me too. But I changed selected only to Cmd+Opt+Shift '*'. All are on my numeric keypad and are similar to what I use for Class and Layer Visibilities (+ show, - hide, * grayed)

You might want to look into using Data Tags instead of the ID Tags that are built in to the Door and Window tools. Data Tags are the recommended workflow since about VW 2023-2024. Because I no longer use them, I'll let someone else answer your question about doing this using ID Tags.

@jblock Thanks for posting this. You might want to do a search in the forum for the many threads related to this issue and post a link to the video in each.

@Dave Donley As I posted above and elsewhere, in addition to moving them to the legacy folder, why aren't all of the tools & command names marked with the "(legacy)" suffix and the tool icons modified the way 3D Selection & 3D Reshape were? It doesn't seem like it would take a lot of work to do.
