[modified PDF : can I save all layers as b&w and 1 layer as colour , to save as PDF]

I am doing a bubble plan over the existing drawing with layers , wnat the existing walls / doors / shell to be b&w , then my bubble plan on top to be colour . I'd like to do  this w/o selecting all my other info and trusting to black , as I wil go back and use the file .

 

Make sense ?

What version of VW are you running? VW2023 and VW2024 are not compatible with OS11.  If you are running 2021 as it says in your signature then I don't know what the problem is.

Sonoma  14.1.1 (23B81)  , VW 2024   update 4 

It is fine now , but happened 2x in 1 hour , never have seen before

[Lock down the palettes in VW]

On 9/15/2021 at 3:47 PM, Ian Lane said:

Kaare,

 

Sorry to hear that you've been having trouble with the feature.  Early on we made some changes to make it harder to accidentally detach the tabs but some users reported that they were still having problems, while many other didn't have an issue at all.

 

As Andy shared (thanks!), we added a new Lock tabs option in the utility menu of the palettes.  When this is turned on you won't be able to detach or rearrange the tabs.  Turning this on won't set things back to the way that they were, so you can move tabs around or detach them and then lock them how you want them to avoid accidental changes in the future.

 

Hopefully this helps you out and thanks for your continuing feedback.

I have been hoping for locked palettes forever . Ian

[ready to make the plunge to Mojave]

Hello All 

Ready to make the plunge to Mac OS Mojave , is it all clear to work with Vectorworks ?  I am running VW 2017 , will upgrade to VW 2019 , then upgrade to Mac OS Mojave.

I am gun shy ,as I didi this when it came out and it was a nightmare , reinstalling previous OS system.

 

So, do I get an Amen on making the leap ?

 

Thanks

 

Ian Graham

Please update (rush) the service pack for VW 2018 to work with Mojave, I installed it without knowing of the issues and nothing works properly. Arrgh
When can we expect to see that?

Don't hold your breath. I turfed Mojave , re installed High Sierra , cost me time and money , but had to be done until this is resolved . VW was unusable and I was going mental

Dear Vectorworks 

 

Do you have a time scale on this? I have just made the mistake of upgrading to discover the significant bugs. Very keen to understand how this going.

 

Can you please update. 

 

Thanks

 

Tim , I took Mojave OS off , reinstalled High Sierra  , spent a day doing it , but I won't install Mojave for a while , I typically wait , didn't  this time and it was a disaster . In my opinion , my only option at this time . Ian

Vectorworks 2017 is not and will not be made compatible with Mojave. Vectorworks 2018 and 2019 do not currently work with the latest macOS, but we will be announcing when they do. For the time being for those who adopted early and simply need to get working again:

Jim, I am looking g at reverting back to High Sierra,  in the meantime would it be better if I upgrade to 2019 with Mojave , I realize not fully compatible , but will it be better than 2017  ?   Ugh 

 

[macOS Mojave (10.14) Compatibility]

Hello all , I am here as I just installed Mojave and Vectorworks 2017 is crashing like crazy , super slow etc . Typically I am instructed to wait until all things are sorted out , I didn't, I regret it . 

 

Question:

I am running vectorworks Architect 2017 , should I upgrade to 2019 , wil it be better with Mojave , or equally as bad 

 

Reverting back to High Sierra seems like a big task as well with a lot of chaos 

 

Any help is appreciated
