I love the inclusion of the collaborative workflow for Vectorworks with the capacity to check out layers, etc but as a company that works across many locations and timezones the limiting file sync location preference (self hosted or using file sharing) makes our specific use case of Dropbox hard to manage, especially on mac.
So I come with more of a question rather than a specific feature request. Has Vectorworks ever considered looking into a Git style collaboration and commit system? The benefit here is mainly the capacity to "approve" changes and rollback or even "fork" and merge changes as required.
There are details here from a development perspective but I would be keen to see something like exist that didn't just work on a layer by layer basis and would solve the issue of two people working on the same layer etc as it would be object bound rather than simply just layer based.
