    Title Blocks are an essential part of design documentation across all industries. Designing your Title Block layout to suit your look and feel and all the necessary fields to display information is essential. Once you have designed the layout, Vectorworks Title Block Borders makes managing recorded data entry more efficient by having the ability to have recorded data linked to text blocks in the title block border layout so that the title blocks’ text always reflects the current data value. In this Coffee Break, we will explore the features of the Title Block Border in Vectorworks and show how you can customize your own. Objectives Placing a Title Block Border using the Title Block Border Tool. Customize your layout and link data values. Title Block Manager overview. REGISTER

  3. @Mark_DDi as a next step, I will suggest after rebooting your computer, open the Vectorworks updater from the Vectorworks 2024 folder, then click on the Advance Options and click on Repair - after repairing, click on Check updates and follow the steps to update 2, if the problem persists, please contact technical support directly via https://customers.vectorworks.net/support
  4. @Kevin McAllister Up through the 2023 product cycle, we referred to any release during a version as Service Packs. This coming 2023, Service Pack 8 will be the last time customers see the phrase Service Pack used. Beginning with 2024, all releases during a version cycle are referred to as Updates. This is a common terminology used by many subscription-based softwares around the world. Update better reflects the fact that releases during a version cycle for Vectorworks may contain bug fixes, feature updates, or even new features for our active subscription and service select customers. I hope that clarifies.

  13. Done Done We are working on a better system for wish submissions, and will be part of the Roadmap in the future. Reviews are working now. Please test and let me know. We are currently working on it. Events will start displaying in the forum calendar moving forward. This option is hard coded. I'm waiting for an answer from the developer to see if we can upgrade the title. This is happening occasionally, and when that happens, I've been editing the post. REQUESTED (MAJOR FEATURES): It is part of our Roadmap - Community Resource Share It will be part of the Roadmap page This is not a feature in the forum - I submitted a wish request, and I'm looking for a plug-in. Working on it. There is not much that I can control directly from the admin UI - I will submit wish items to the developer.

  22. @Andrew PollockYes, I filed a bug, and I'll share any updates as they become available. Thanks.
  23. @Steve Kennedy What version of Vectorworks are you running?
  24. @Emile_Crassee Our R+D team is looking into the cause of this issue. Please stay tuned!
  25. @DonnaS Maybe this is related to Windows Defender blocking Vectorworks 2018 - please try the following: How do I allow apps through Windows Firewall Windows 11? Select the Start menu, type Allow an app through Windows Firewall, and select it from the list of results. Select Change settings. You might be asked for an administrator password or to confirm your choice. To add an app, select the check box next to the app, or select Allow another app and enter the path for the app. To remove an app, clear the check box next to the app, and then select OK. Please let me know if that works. I don't see anything preventing Vectorworks 2018 from launching or working in Windows 11, even if we do not provide support for this version.
