Session Pane and the new Application UI

[jkibbe]

How do I hide the "Session Pane" on start up and is the new Application Window UI something I can turn off so I can see my desktop instead of the Application Window blocking it? I used to turn off the Application Window and just have my palettes surrounding my working tab. 

 

Thank you ahead of time, I just can't seem to find anyone asking these questions!

I believe that the Application Window is the only mode available in VW2024. The old all floating window option has been removed.

If you’re referring to the ‘Home Screen’, under Vectorworks Preferences > Session Pane , uncheck the option for ‘Display Home Screen on startup’.

Quote from the Vw2024 Help File:

When launching Vectorworks directly from the application (not opened from a file), displays the Home screen on startup; see The Home screen. The Home screen does not display on startup when Create a new document on startup is selected.

Thank you, duh! I can’t believe I missed that one.
