    You kind of do need a bluetooth connection. The iOS Measure app is weak. MagicPlan can be a PITA without a connection to a laser. Floorplanner looks kind if cool, but all imperfect. I think measure and survey  deserve a VE for VCS.

     

    Thanks, I'm not so worried about any type of direct Vectorworks or Bluetooth connection, it's more a simple plan drawing app that I can use by taking manual measurements with a Disto then drawing on the iPad with a pen.

    You should be able to instal Vectorworks on up to three Macs but only one  of them will be able to use VW at any one time,. As someone else has already pointed out if you are working remotely, like we do, then there are a couple of options, I actually purchased additional licences through this forum however we have two Macs in the office and a Macbook Pro for admin which is mobile, I often work on a fourth Mac at home.

     

    If you don't want to go to the expense of another licence then you could try shutting down VW everytime that you leave the office or home then working on your laptop when you are away from the office eg at home. If you use Team Viewer you will be able to access the files on the office Mac and also transfer files, it's a really flexible way of working. Just remember what joerg says and quit VW on the Macs when you stop using them!

    I have not. Can you be more specific?

     

    I notice your signature shows OS 10.10.2 (Yosemite). El Capitan is OS 10.11.x. More details will make for more specific answers.

    Don’t read too much into signatures as many people have more than one Mac, we have four and on different OSX versions

  4. It would be really useful to have the same facility for greying out sheet layers as we have for design layers, as it would greatly help aligning views when pasting viewports in place. Eg if you have several levels of a buildings, the  floor plans would remain in register after publishing a multi page PDF so making viewing and toggling between floor plans more convenient.

    Though Jim's presence is no longer around in a Vectorworks employee capacity, I want to assure you that many employees are reading the forums every day.

    We may not respond to every post on here as we have other priorities, but nearly everything of importance with regards to issues or potential improvements is being discussed internally among us and bugs as well as feature requests are being created.

     

    Please don't think that when we lost Jim that you lost us, we're still listening.

    That's good to hear. Are you able to update us on when the door, window and stair tools will be improved eg SP5?!

  6. Yes I was/am in a similar position, I was running VW2016 on Sierra on my Macbook Pro Retina and kept getting update reminders to upgrade to Mojave. I took advantage of a recent VW offer to upgrade to 2019 + VSS and some other software struggles, I regret spending out the money on 2019 now as things like the door tool, window tool and stair tool have not been improved, I also find the text tool to be hopelessly 'laggy' and have problems with the file path when publishing.  I have 3 other Macs running VW2016 on Sierra and initially thought that I would maybe be able to use though 2016 on the MBP but it doesn't. It's a pain as anything that I do in VW2019 on the MBP must be saved as a 2016 file in order to share it with the other Macs on the network. I may well go back to Sierra.

  7. I recently upgraded to VWD 2019 and am experiencing problems entering text. For example when publishing I get prompted to enter a file name, the input box then sort of freezes for a few seconds before I can enter any text, after that the box prompts to enter a location for the PDFs created, again the same thing happens.

     

    This evening I was really frustrated when trying to enter text on the design layer as there is an awful lag between pressing the keyboard character key and it appearing on screen, once or twice the character entered disappeared.

     

    Has anyone else experienced this?

     

     

  8. I've tried various settings of the sill, you can get it to extend correctly as yours shows in the wall but if you pull it out then it all goes to pot no matter what you do. It's almost as if there is some association between the sill and the wall. Can we get this looked at as a priority please because after so many pricey upgrades to have something so basic still not working is not good?
