  1. I'm having an intermittent issue selecting colors from a vendor pallet, say Sherwin-Williams. Usually I'm unable to select but once in awhile it works. No problem selecting from the standard color palletes. Anyone else and is there a fix? I'm using an iMac Pro with trackpad, latest Catalina, and both VW 2020 and 2021 with the same results..

    Hi, we are having this same problem with VW2020 after SP2. The annoying thing is that the problem persists when saved back to a VW2019 file and there is seemingly no way to fix this. This has now affected around 10 of our most recent projects which is hugely frustrating.

     

    Furthermore I tried to download the workaround above and the link is no longer active.

     

    Is everyone else still having this problem and is there something that can be done about it?

    Here's the download workaround just in case..

  3. Trying to create a concrete panel model with a recess with an elliptical curved fillet. I was able to create the main part of the panel with an extrusion. Tried to create a profile and path for the curved top which worked but then can't add to the main panel through solid addition. Any ideas? I've attached the vectorwork file as well as a PDF of the model.

    Thank you for the workaround, Juan! I have no comprehension of what it's doing, but it works  🙌

     

    Haven’t tried it yet but noticed the problem viewport was duplicated to the right when toggling settings. Because if the patch name, must have something to do with that.

  5. I'm using the same iMac Pro as well as a 2014 MacBook Pro. Downloaded 2020 yesterday and so far have few issues (that I've posted in Troubleshooting). All have occured on the iMac Pro but not on the laptop. I might try upgrading to Catalina on the laptop when its released to test..

    To be clear, most - if not all - of the fault cause here lies with Apple. VW 2019 SP 5.1 is smooth as butter on macOS 10.14.6 SU 2. Meanwhile the betas of Catalina (and iOS 13) are tracking a legendary level of bugs, so anyone rolling the dice with a .0 release should expect nothing but trouble.

     

    Keep in mind there will not be a VW 2019 SP 6 or a macOS 10.14.7, so this is as good as it gets (every year at this time). That's also a major milestone for an OS that's about to end 32-bit support (unrelated to VW). The next 3-6 months are a wonderful time to take advantage of this stability (instead of intentionally choosing frustration). It's also a great time to play with the new version of VW but there's not a single colleague, vendor, designer or anyone I work with that will use the new version for a paid project until sometime around December (SP 2.1 was solid last year). If VW could improve one thing, it would be closing the 4-5 month gap between SP 2 and SP 3 every year with more of those point updates (SP 2.2, 2.3... ).

     

    The other thing to keep in mind is that Cook's Apple prioritizes selling subscriptions over performance: power, speed, stability, ports, thermal management... Most of the Mojave updates (and Catalina upgrade) have been and continue to be focused on adding services: News, TV+, Arcade, MasterCard...

     

    And, yeah, Windows is definitely the safe bet every September when Apple drops their half-baked OS on third party developers and peripheral manufacturers, and they scramble to reverse engineer a game of Whac-A-Mole in real time to figure out what, and how Apple, broke their sh!t.

     

    Well. I’ve never had software requiring such a lengthy beta. Is there not a developer period to correct bugs? And wasn’t 64k known for quite awhile? One more thing: what about OpenGL / Metal?
