[What Hardware Does What? - Upgrading your Hardware for Vectorworks]

I am sure that is true! Mostly I am talking about upgrading from the typical 16GB or 32GB I see on most off-the-shelf Windows PCs these days.  They are all focused on people who do spreadsheets and check email or on people who use them for gaming.  Having more RAM for those purposes is pretty useless.

 

But drawing and modeling has a way of becoming a multitasking pursuit where you need to have designer specs, cut sheets, research photos, a window for zoom, YouTube tutorial, several webpages for things you are purchasing for the project, and Slack open at the same time; suddenly 32GB is spent.

 

Also, if you already have a lot but decide you need more, it isn't cheap on a PC either.  But it is cheaper than replacing a CPU or GPU-- and far cheaper than replacing the whole system.

I regret not getting the 64GB ram machine. It'd have paid for itself already. Lesson learned.

RAM upgrades @ Apple: Not so much with the affordable, so very very sadly.

did you click the 'Download All Project Files" link?

I did, and it downloaded what looks to be what you're asking after.

You can, but it is not required. The versions do not interact with each other.

If I may; I'd strongly recommend keeping your installation of VW 2017 in place. When 2019 occasionally fails to operate in the manner intended or desired, I find it imperative to have an older version to backsave to, in order to get work done to satisfy my clients with a timely delivery.
