A couple of things to try:

• Unplug any peripheral (USB device) 
• Check for viruses
• Run any Windows updates

I hope that helps.

Pretty dismal.  VW is now a prepaid subscription, in effect, and you don’t know what you are paying for since you have to decide on July 1 if you want to continue, and don’t know what you are getting until August or September.

You can always refer to the scheduled features part of the RoadMap , which will guide you on what's coming in the next versions.

I’m hoping 2024 proves an exception to this lackluster performance, but if there is yet again no response to the many complaints, I’m going to conclude a dysfunctional corporate culture has taken over there.

I would like to know more about the issues you are referring to. Feel free to contact me at jalmansa@vectorworks.net and I'll be happy to set up a quick meeting to discuss further.  Thanks

 

[How about a 'VW Store'?]

I've been following the thread and also in conversations internally with different teams. I can share with you all that in the near future, you will see a new card about peer-to-peer resource sharing in the Public Roadmap. Our R&D and Product Marketing have this in mind and will develop more of this idea in the coming months. I will share more info as it becomes available. Have a great weekend!
