Hi,
I'm running Yosemite but my new Magic keyboard needs OS X 11 onwards. Is anyone out there running VW 2016 with either 10.11, 10.12, or 10.13?
( I'm avoiding 10.14 Mohave re the recognised issues posted elsewhere). Thanks

A lot of nice improvements so kudos for the upgrades! Especially like the improved launch time & faster renders.
Still a fly or three in the ointment here & there:
- Notification crashes VW when selected
- The Quick Keys to align the change in wall types has never been re-instated (since it was removed in VW 2014?)
- Still can't control the output of the Interior Elevation Marker to eliminate the Sheet # or customize the marker
- Gird Bubble tool is still not ready for prime time
- Spelling does not migrate to the new version so the first few files will take longer to spell check ( & it's not just COLOUR, lots of common short forms need to be reentered)
Does it have a new door tool to allow custom bi-folding patio doors? Does it have an improved stair tool?

in VWA 2016 is it possible to have the note a smaller font size than the dimension text as it would be useful when detailing up tight floor plans?
-
Is it possible to have a bow bay window plug in as the window Settings doesn't seem to offer this option yet it's very common in the UK?
-
Thanks, it’s all done, it would be good to be able to control the thickness of the components and add cavity closing insulation but this is s step forward.
-
Is it possible to finish wall openings properly by making the external render and internal plaster wrap around the reveals into the window or door frame? Also can insulated cavity closers be shown?
-
Thanks, all for your views, it sounds like there is no real advantage in using a tablet so I'll stick to my Logitech ergonomic mouse.
-
Hi, is anyone out there using a Wacom tablet for drawing in Vectorworks and would you recommend it as being better than using a mouse?

I think the Vw wiki that @Christiaanalready has going over at Needle and Mortar is very detailed and specific about what Vw needs to fix / improve / add.
For example, take a look at this page for the 2015 list of enhancement requests for the Door Tool.
Thank you for highlighting Christian's Wiki, we've been asking for a custom door tool that can draw multi leaf bifold doors now and an easy to use stair tool for so many years now that I'll probably retire before it happens...

flipping the stairs sometimes sorts this out. It's well past time that we had a new stair tool!

Hi, yes I know about offsetting the window in the wall but are you sure that yours is rebated into the wall from inside the building? No I don't think there is an option for horns although there should be as even upvc sliding box sash windows have curved horns.
-
Victorian sliding sash windows are neatly rebated into the wall from the room side. I can draw the splayed reveals fine but is there a way to show the jambs rebated in the walls?

That is exactly what will happen. Remember to save on your first machine before you start up the second.
Maybe check this out as it when I tried it I was unable to have VW open on two Macs so I bought another licence. If it did work it would mean that you could open the same licence on multiple computers so I doubt it will.

We are still on VW2016. Did the round wall batt start for 2017 or 2018?
I just drew the attached using walls like you, interestingly I then added a length of insulation batt but it didn't push the file size up that much, not sure what a curved one would be like though.
-
I think it should work as long as only one computer is in use at one time, or VW is only open on one computer, it can be a pain though if you forget to quit on one before leaving the office. I bought an additiuonal licence for remote working away from the office to get around it.
-
is that a wall Christian?
-
If you mean insulation batt then that would not really work, due to complexity/distortion/file size, we use the default Component Insulation Fibre hatch so in your case you could just show a ring of insulation around your pipe and use that hatch, I'm not sure where it's located though but we have it saved in the Resources palette, it's probably in the Vectorworks Architect workspace. You could make the insulation ring as a symbol and have different sizes perhaps?

I'm looking for a VWA 2018 licence UK or USA
-
Has anyone had problems installing VW2018, like not being able to close the drawing window with the red dot or getting a fuzzy grey screen when quitting?
-
Thanks!

I no longer see the Edit Viewport pane when I double click on a viewport so I am unable to tick Add Reference Crop Object. It's only on one Mac. Is there a way to get that pane back?
-
Has anyone in the UK any experience of purchasing a VW licence from the USA re any import taxation issues?
-
Hi, that's a lot more than we can buy new in the UK for an English version.

Hi, please PM or email me, thanks
