@KAAC Thank you for bringing this up. Yes, they've added UK and Sweden as options. You will see them in Vectorworks Update 3, which will come out in January.

I have no idea about that, I'm just trying to answer your concerns here. Maybe contact the forum admin about this. But still, I wanted to give you some feedback, as it is important to us (the company and me) what our users need, and we try to make Vectorworks better and more useful.

@sbarnett I wouldn't agree with you. Our main goal is to think about our users. In case of the third-party plugins, we operate on partnerships. With partner plugins/features, you won't see this at all. The "Export grandMA2 Setup (XML)" is from our partner MA Lighting Technology GmbH, and they already are providing Vectorworks 2026 version. We'll even add their plugin to the Help -> Install Partner Products menu in Vectorworks very soon, so you can get it installed without having to mess around with files.

Hi all, I understand the frustration, but still an unknown plugin is a security risk, and clicking "enable" is too easy in the rush of the moment. If you see this dialog, the plugin developer to provide validated plugin for Vectorworks 2026. The process is trivial. The "Export grandMA2 Setup (XML)" already has a Vectorworks 2026 version. You need to download it instead of reusing the old version. The "WinDoor" plugins are something Vectorworks provides, and unfortunately there is a problem there, which will be fixed in Update 1 and it will be no longer reported. You can work around the problem now by replacing your "CredentialsVectorworks" file that is located next to the application. There are the updated files that you should replace it with Mac: https://cloud.vectorworks.net/links/7y7Kq1BrghFGFA8n/ Win: https://cloud.vectorworks.net/links/EqpmWYZaF2s2tRRb/ Again, WinDoor will be fixed by Update 1.

Oh yes, sorry for the confusion. I fixed it. Yes, this is the correct link.

Yeah, as @Jesse Cogswell said, if you have them editable, they will not be required to have credentials. If for some reason you do encrypt the plugins, then it's trivial. Contact @LDraminski directly, and we can give you a file to include along side your plugins.

Vectorworks 2026 introduces the requirement for script plugins that are encrypted/obfuscated and SDK plugins to have a satellite credentials file that defines who is the developer of the plugins is. More information can be found here: https://github.com/Vectorworks/developer-scripting/blob/main/Common/Tasks/Info/PluginCredentials.md Note: this doesn't apply for open source VectorScript or Python scripts.

The image provided shows the WinDoor plugins, which pare developed by Vectorworks. You can install the new versions from the "Help -> Install Partner Products" menu command. This will install a version that is compatible with Vectorworks 2026. Unfortunately, there is a problem with these plugins that is inside the Vectorworks' credentials file, which will be fix soon. Until then, you can replace the "CredentialsVectorworks" file in the Vectorworks application's "Plug-ins" one (it already exist, override with this new one) as a temporary solution: Mac: https://cloud.vectorworks.net/links/7y7Kq1BrghFGFA8n/ Win: https://cloud.vectorworks.net/links/EqpmWYZaF2s2tRRb/ When you replace this file, the WinDoor feature you installed from Help -> Install Partner Products

You are all bring up a good point actually. We are currently looking into ways to make it current.

This exactly is our next focus with the Document Share feature. It's via a share at the moment, but that is the workflow we are working to optimize.

Yeah, technically it is absolutely possible, difficult but possible. Then the question that remains is that if the expense would make sense. Especially with the trend where laptops are getting more and more like tablets, and tablets are getting more and more like laptops.

FYI The design is such that all creation tool in Nomad should work offline, and then sync when back only. I'm told there is a bug about this, which will be fixed very soon.

Note, there are several repos depending on the development you do: https://github.com/Vectorworks/developer-scripting https://github.com/Vectorworks/developer-sdk https://github.com/Vectorworks/developer-worksheets https://github.com/Vectorworks/developer-content Additionally, good examples can be found here (note, those are contained examples, the SDK is also included): https://github.com/VectorworksDeveloper/SDKExamples
