Short answer: yes. We did not forget about this. We have this firmly in our gunsights but there are some dependencies which we will need to resolve first. Thanks for your patience and sorry for the long wait!

I was wondering if it could always be displayed ?
(I’m using a 14" macbook pro M2).
Edit : It is a macOS option. I needed just to select “always display menu bar” in the macOS system settings app.
I don't think we're doing anything here. It's entirely a macOS system thing.

Can I change the style, size and fonts of text in the menus and palettes in vw 24. Text has shrunk and lost boldness making it much harder to read/see. Have you been taking lessons from graphic design companies putting cooking instructions on food packaging perhaps, and assuming everyone is young with 20/20 vision...
Hi @LeeElston text has indeed decreased in size somewhat. Sorry about the inconvenience this is causing you! I am sure you probably know this already but for what it's worth: you can incease text size in the Windows system setings, in case that is an option for you.

@Stephan Moenninghoff I checked + the problem is still there regardless of the display settings.
Here is a test file Test file for Stephan_24-01-15.vwx
Thank you, I can see it now. Leave it with me, I will create a bug for it.

@Stephan Moenninghoff Hi! No, I did mean snapping. Two users have suggested unpinning snapping from the view bar and they have it returning to the lower right corner of the viewport window like previous versions. I cannot replicate that - if I unpin, snapping menu simply goes away all together. I wondered if that was because I was on windows and they are on Mac, but I realize that is an assumption.
Hmm, that's interesting. I just tried on Windows and I am seeing the snaps.
Are you able to file a bug for this?

I assume the snapping thing is a mac vs windows thing as both people suggesting it are on Mac and I'm on Windows.
Did you mean the scaling?

Hopefully someone from VW will pick this up to save me filing a bug report...
I'm not seeing this with the latest beta. Do you have a sample file showing the issue?

In a dream world, database rows would work more like a proper database reporting engine:
- Group headers (large flat table splits in to multiple table chunks based on the data - i.e. Group By Field x)
- Hierarchical group headers - group on X field, then group on X field.
I would love to understand your dream world a little better 🙂 . Could you post/DM with an example?

I have difficulties to set borders : if I want to remove the down border of a cell, sometimes it does not work. I have to select the cell below and remove the up border.
I tried to reproduce this but I was not successful. In a Vectorworks worksheet, adjacent cells seem to share borders. You can turn the border on and off between any two cells from either of the two neighbouring cells. This is not the same as, for example, html, where each cell has its own border (and that comes with other quirks, like border-collapse properties etc.).
If this does not work for you reliably, that sounds like an edge case or a bug. Do you have a sample file that demonstrates this? Could you share this file?
Thanks!

That's a bug. Thanks for letting us know! Could you share your screen resolution and UI scale preferences from your Windows settings as a screenshot here? I will try and reproduce it on my end to get it fixed.

@Christiaan I have changed the wording of the alert for an upcoming task anyway because I found the same thing. Here is the proposed new alert. If this can be improved even more, I am sure we will be happy to do so.

Hey @Kaare Baekgaard I just tried and I cannot quite reproduce this. It seems to snap where it should. Can you attach your test file?

14 hours ago, Hamo said:'Interactive Scaling' and 'Marquee Selection' need to be green / black for on / off like the 'Snapping' tools.
HI @Hamo Thanks for the suggestion. We are constantly collecting user feedback and will adapt any design choice we have made if we think that the majority of users will benefit. We have collected feedback on colour choices and icon styles (by way of a survey and focus group) and we now have two styles of icons - the mocochrome icons that use the user's accent colour when active and icons we use for tools and modes, which have the ability to use colour accents that are part of the icon itself. The interactive scaling is one of the latter, being a mode of the Selection tool. As you can see from the first mode ('Disabled Interactive Scaling Mode'), we can use a red accent here.
Hope that makes sense.

As @E|FA has pointed out, it is already a wishlist item. While we cannot guarantee if and when wishes are granted, we obviously prioritise wishes with a higher count of votes!

Only a partial set. A bunch must be hiding somewhere.
There are several places where Icons are kept:
- Vectorworks.vwr
- Plugins
- Vectorscript tools and commands
As of Vectorworks 2024, toolset icons are also stored in Vectorworks.vwr for easier access.
Unfortunately, with Vectorscript icons, you cannot get to them from the plugins. I am attaching them here for you.

Compact mode doesn't make much difference if you've a big 4k screen - each of the drop down boxes becomes irritatingly narrow. A facility to stretch to a chosen width would be good, or simply auto-sizing to fill screen width, since the remaining RH space is no use for nuttin'. Yeah I know, "simply"... 🐵
Hi, @MogTheSmilingCat could you post a screenshot of your setup? Thanks!

Extracting the Vectorworks Resource file and looking at the default icons, I appear to have been correct. Each icon has two versions, one standard and one with a "_dark" suffix. However, I can't seem to make any of my custom icons work even with the suffix. But when I use one of the default icons, it works as expected, so I must be doing something wrong.
If SVGs are not displayed as you expect, there can be several reasons for it. I noticed you are using a non-uniform stroke. This might be one of them although I haven't tried.
Here are the known issues:
- Patterns not supported
- Transformations not supported
- Non-scaling strokes not supported (just ignored. The icon still displays correctly)
- Nested clipping paths not supported. (You can use a clip path but you cannot clip it again, using another clip path on top of it).
Using "_dark" as a suffix will use that resource for dark mode. Failing to supply it will use the light version for dark mode.
You can still use PNG but SVG is preferred, as it stays sharp when the UI is scaled.
Use a vector graphic app like Adobe Illustrator, Sketch or any other vector format authoring tool that lets you export SVG and you should be good.

I, for one, can't distinguish the icon unless I highlight it by hovering the cursor over.
It uses the accent colour you have set up in your Windows Personalisation > Colors preferences. Can you check and let me know if a different colour helps you read these?

As were many others. Very privileged to be part of a fantastic team here at Vectorworks!

Have you got time to run off 'Interiorcad Basic Workflow Part 12'? 🙂
Actually, there is a Youtube video that covers it. 🙂

Thanks for confirming. That's fine. Just want to get a sense of what you can do + what you can't. Of course if I disable 'Display Router Radius' + have square corners there is no issue. The only issue is if I want to maintain a smaller corner radius than that of the router cutter.
It's a great piece of software I am enjoying exploring it! More questions to follow no doubt (sorry!)
You can use an NC Macro and add a Symbol to it to use as a boolean geometry. That will allow you to do pretty much any shape.

I think it's quite possible with the tools we have in Vectorworks. I used the Deform tool with Taper Solid mode. Should be pretty close to what you need @Brandon Kleiman
