Update 5 Issue

[Kevin McAllister]

Hello,

 

I just got notified and updated to Vectorworks 2024 Update 5. When I started up Vectorworks after the update none of the tools from the tool palettes work. I can select them, but they won't draw, navigate or work in the drawing (both new and existing). The menu commands work fine as do the contextual menus. Its like the tools system is down.

 

What's the recommended troubleshooting for this? I've done a restart etc.. Do I need to do a reinstall? Are others having this issue?

All people beside me had 14.4.1 issues.

For me it feels that 14.5 is more strange.

 

USB device problems via a hub after awakening,

Mail not showing new emails which are already shown by notifications in side bar.

And I think I had my first VW 2024 or Bricscad crashes when closing the App.

Updating from Mac OS 14.4.1 to Mac OS 14.5 solved the issue.

Just a heads up for those with a 2nd monitor, I had problems with Update 5 and had to downgrade back to Update 4.  Call Vectorworks and they can tell you how to do that.  I'm running Sonoma 14.5 on an M3 Mac.  I was told that M series Macs w/ 2nd monitors are prey to odd / slow behaviors on Vectorworks under the Update 5.  The problem was resolved going to Update 4 but you may have to go to an earlier version depending on what works for you.  Hope that helps somebody some frustration.  They are working on it.
