Homescreen - Project Sharing Server access missing

[matteoluigi]

Hi,

 

I really like the new 2023 Homescreen. However it doesn't have enoght features, so I don't use it actually.

Afaik it's supposed to be the first dashboard you get, when you start Vectorworks. However, then there is a crucial features missing!

I can't access a server based project file from the Homescreen.

That feature is totally missing.

 

Don't tell me, that:

- I first have to open a new document in order to be able, to open the server-project-file window, that's neither intuitive nor logic.

- I can open every vwxw-file I already opened before. However I sometimes want to open the vwxp file in order to create a new vwxw file... that doesn't work from the homescreen.

 

That's a pity.    

Now I don't use the homescreen any more, I shut it down in macOS.

for me, (VW 2023, W 11)?? the third line down on the home screen menu is "Cloud Services"

When I select that line, I gets new screen with this box, but selecting "My Files" does nothing.

 

UPDATE: it appears that the button is trying to open the Vectorworks Cloud Services App. but is seems it is crashing it each time.

@BartHays and server based project files?

Ah, my bad. Since I use VW Cloud. I assume that's what people mean by Server Based. But, obviously there are other server solutions besides VWC.
