Adam Wisler Architect Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Hello. I am a registered architect in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. An architectural firm I am consulting with runs on Vectorworks. My Mac is version 10.9.5 and I am weary of upgrading the OS, as it has decades of content. It seems I need more current versions of the Mac OS to run Vectorworks, Please advise. Please help me install Vectorworks safely. Adam Wisler Architect 973-703-1510 Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Check out this page: It looks like you would have to go back to VW 2016 to get something that runs on Mac OS 10.9.5. I don't recommend it. Even if you could get an old version of Vectorworks, it would be hard to collaborate with a firm running a modern version. Although VW2024 can open a VW2016 file, VW2024 won't even export back to 2016. Quote Link to comment
Jeff Prince Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 It might be easiest to buy a new Mac specifically for running vectorworks and keep your old Mac intact. I have several old computers that I keep around for running old applications that are no longer available. Quote Link to comment

Adam Wisler Architect Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 Thank you Jeff and Michael. A new computer is definitely the route I am going. I am never updating anything on this old MAC laptop. Everything works. I have the complete adobe and MS suites, and PowerCADD. This mac asks me to update the system et al every day. I never click ok...it works perfectly. Thank you for your time. I'll have the new computer discussion today with the firm I am consulting to. I very much look forward to getting into Vectorworks Adam Wisler Architect 1 Quote Link to comment
