VW2025 Activate layer

[Laura Stone]

Activate layer (right click) doesn't seem to be working in VW2025

[Pat Stanford]

It just worked for me in a quick test.

[Laura Stone]

Just opened a new file and tried, still not working, maybe something wrong with my installation.

Are you sure you are right clicking on an object that is on a different layer?  If so, then I would try doing a Repair from the "hamburger" menu in the upper right corner of the Installation Manager found in your Vectorworks Application folder.

Thanks Pat, I'll give that a try tomorrow

I'm going to do the 'Repair' but I wanted to note that I've noticed some flakiness in my customized right-click menus. Went into the workspace editor and deleted and reinstalled some items and it seems to be working better but not 100%. Edit Design Layer in particular is a bit hit and miss.

Fresh installation of 2025, using the default Architect workspace and a new blank document: the right click menu isn't working at all for me. (Works fine in 2024 so I know it's a Vectorworks issue.)

I recommend you contact Tech Support directly. That does not sound like something that will be easy to solve on the forum.

Repair unfortunately hasn't worked

And tried complete reinstall without importing any user data/workspaces and still not working

On second thoughts I don't think I have Keyboard Maestro, but maybe a conflict with something else?

[Christopher Rowe]

Here's how my issue was solved (with help from Vectorworks Support of course!):

 

 

[Pat Stanford]

Thank you @Christopher Rowe for sharing the solution.

 

I believe that this is scheduled to be improved in a future Update, possibly Update 2 that may arrive in November or December.

[Laura Stone]

Yes thanks, this works for me too

[Laura Stone]

Now fixed in update 2
