Hi Greg, Speaking from my own experience here as I have 2015 Designer running on a 2010 MacbookPro with Mac OS High Sierra [is quite sluggish but is not my work machine though]. As I wanted to find out for my amusement, Vectorworks 2015 will not install on my current iMac running Catalina [not for me anyhow]. HTH

Hello, I have 2021 installed and noticed there is no progress bar to be found. Perhaps I am missing something..

Solved by Tech Support.

Hi all, This morning upon launching VW 2019, a pop-up asking to Activate as if my currently working version was a new install. I did a restart of my computer to no avail. Yesterday, I did use the Repair function on the VW Updater page and with no issues after that. I did send an email to tech support. Any thoughts?

Hi MikeyP, I had a similar issue and also needed the application installer. I sent off an email to tech@vectorworks.net and got a response [and the required link] on same day. Give that a whirl.

Hi Matt, i can take a stab at it. Check the "Show Page Breaks" settings on the Page Setup dialogue?

Hi Ron, Others may have something to add in here, but I have read where only VW 2019 and up is officially supported on Catalina. Even though I hear of some having gotten earlier versions of VW to work on Catalina [not tried by myself]. HTH

Hi Tim, I am possibly out in Left field here but it might be due to Catalina and having to give some system permission again after an update.

Hi Eric, please check the pdf Publish Options and uncheck "Open PDF in the Default viewer". Hope that helps you [did I understood your Q properly?]..

@Wesley BurrowsFor me, the Text has full background but text is offset from the background. Fun times.

@Neil Barman All good suggestions for me, and especially for your reference [intended or not] to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. "Session > Maximum number of Undos > 42 Why I adjust this pref: I like to experiment and sometimes I need to “back out” of what I’m doing a lot. Plus, if it can be the answer to life, the universe, and everything, it must be a good number of undo’s." Plus I do find this setting quite useful to me. Mark

Hello Forum users, a fresh question for someone who is willing to answer. I use VW on my External Monitor as my iMac screen, while lovely, but is too fine of a pitch for me to see well enough. While the undocked pallets load onto the External Monitor, the Main Drawing window always opens on my iMac screen. This only happens when launching VW after it has been quit, but not if opening from hidden or closed state. I do not mind moving the Main Drawing window to my External Monitor, but would love a fix if there is one. Kind regards

Great suggestions, both of you. My old eyes would appreciate such a thing.

Hi Jim, I've a 2010 MackbookPro with HS and VW Designer 2015 that both seem to run just fine. Mind you, I do not do any serious rendering, might be a "Show Stopper". HTH

Hi Parker, Not sure if this is relatable for your setup, nor if I understand your question properly [too many Show-plans in my brain today]. I have always [when using VW2019] found that if I startup VW from my iMac dock, then your issue is mine as well with regards to Palettes repositioning on their own. However, if I start up VW by cicking an existing drawing from my documents folder, then all works as expected with all Palettes staying put. Hope this helps
