Vectorworks LEGACY Operating System Compatibility List
rDesign commented on PVA - Jim's article in Knowledgebase
@S Dyson - even though the chart doesn’t go back as far as version 12.5, since version 2008 is shown as being only supported up to macOS 10.6, it’s safe to assume that would also be the case for version 12.5. -
There’s an existing wishlist thread requesting this functionality (currently over 4 years old). Please follow the the link and upvote it, if you haven’t already. Thanks.

What are Mac users using for PDF mark up and measurement?
rDesign replied to Christiaan's topic in General Discussion
I am still using Bluebeam Revu for MacOS, as I bought it back when you still could (which is no longer the case - you can’t buy new licenses). I also use Bluebeam Revu for iOS on my iPad, which as far as I know is still being supported. -
@JuanP - As it seems to happen every year that a new macOS is released, some users will immediately update to the new macOS as soon as it is released without checking these Vw User Forums first to see if there are any issues that would disrupt their workflow. I think it would be very proactively useful if the Vw Marketing / Sales department could promptly send out an email to all of the registered Vw users on file letting them know about the issues that have been posted in the Tech Bulletin on macOS Big Sur Compatibility.

@Kurt M - I don’t know if this helps with the ‘yellow’ panorama issue at all, but I found this post by former Vw employee @PVA - Jim : It would still be very good to have a Vw employee weigh in on what is the proposed solution to this problem: It’s been requested several times in this thread with no direct response.

Vehicle turning / swept path analysis software for Vectorworks?
rDesign replied to Pondard's topic in General Discussion
According to the HELP FILE, if you register your AutoTURN account through Vectorworks, rather than directly on the AutoTURN Online website you receive a free vehicle bundle to use in simulations. I believe it includes three different generic vehicles. Aside from that, in answer to your question, other than AutoTURN there is nothing else that is included with Vw. -
There will only be lines if the original PDF was a vector-based drawing. You can tell if it was a vector-based PDF by trying to snap to the PDF line work prior to Ungrouping it (assuming that ‘Snap to Geometry’ is enabled on the OIP) If you can snap to the line work it is a vector PDF, if not -- it is a raster and there won't be any 'lines' to get through Ungrouping it. HTH.

There is a Grid Bubbles tool in the 2020 version (and earlier) — it’s just that in those pre-2021 versions it was 2D only and its functionality was what arguably could be called ‘adequate’. Vw2020 Help File : Creating Grid Bubbles

Aside from the previous comments about 2021, as far as setting up Levels and Stories in Vw2020 — a good place to start is the Model Setup thread linked below. HTH.

New Topics Wanted - Vectorworks Training Content
rDesign replied to PVA - Jim's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
In light of the new Materials functionality in Vw2021, I would like to see an in-depth workflow video on using Materials and Worksheets for estimation of material cost / quantity take-offs. Preferably using styled Walls / Slabs / Roofs with components, as well as styled Doors & Windows. Thanks. -
I agree with all of the above (and have continually been upvoting this topic for years whenever it pops up again). For Vw Engineering’s reference, here’s a link to a 2018 ‘Stair Tool - Pain Points’ thread started by previous Vw employee @PVA - Jim, almost all of the points of which are still needing to be addressed as of Vw2021. Thanks.

Downloadable PDFs of VW Online Guides
rDesign replied to E|FA's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
I agree 100% - it shouldn’t be this difficult. At the bottom of that FlipHTML5 page, there’s an option to ‘View Text Version’, which gives you an option to Print. I thought Great! But alas no, it only lets you print a PDF of two pages at a time. Hardly useful... -
