I'm suddenly having major Vectorworks 2009 crashes after upgrading to Mac OS 10.5.7. By major I mean the crash instantly locks up my entire machine and I can do nothing except manually hit the restart button on the Mac Pro tower. My Mac Pro: Model Name: Mac Pro Model Identifier: MacPro1,1 Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz Number Of Processors: 2 Total Number Of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB Memory: 16 GB Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08 SMC Version (system): 1.7f10 Serial Number (system): G87373H3UQ2 Thanks, Jim

Hello Andy, I saw the earlier references to "pipe threads". And I'm gonna be picky here. Pipe threads are normally tapered. I had assumed that VW would address the NPT series of pipe threads Yes, there are straight pipe threads, but they are less common. I do a lot of designing of systems that use compression fittings for tubing (Plastic and metal) and I would like to be able to distinguish easily in my drawings between straight threads and tapered threads.

There are no pipe thread tools in my installation of VW 2009.

Does anybody have a source for simple downloads of 2D DXF CAD files of compression fittings for tubing (like Swagelok fittings)? I have a Macintosh computer - NOT a PC CADRegister is not Mac compatible TIA JIm
