0 michael john williams Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 The items in this rather long wish list thread. One major one for me is seeing components in section vps as you do in plans. Are going to the VW UK event? Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Are going to the VW UK event? Yeah someone in my office mentioned that but I haven't seen anything. Where do I register? Quote Link to comment

0 Christiaan Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Thanks. See you there. Quote Link to comment
0 michael john williams Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Sorry I will not be going as it is only for a few hours and can not justify the costs of coming up to London, but have fun and give them some stick!! Sorry helpful advice. Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Yeah it does seem a bit short doesn't it, with half of it being taken up by a competition. I guess that's just the result of fact that 12.6 hasn't been released yet. Or maybe it will have by then? Quote Link to comment
0 Guest Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Where did you guys hear about 12.6 ? Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Heh, why, is there no such thing? Quote Link to comment
0 michael john williams Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 There will always be a 12.6! Just when and I saw it mentioned a few weeks ago as being released in the UK late 2007 but I can not find were I saw it now - it could have been Building Design. Quote Link to comment

0 michael john williams Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 I was right! VW 2008 coming: http://www.vectorworks.uk.com/vw/index.jsp Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 'cept it's 13 not 12.6 Quote Link to comment
0 Carl Newton Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Katie I think you let the cat out of the bag by mentioning 2008 will support 3Dconnexion products, So come on Katie, spill the beans! Quote Link to comment
0 Guest Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 The word went out over a week ago. I just fueled the anticipation with that post. You can view more about 2008 on the various 2008 threads and by visiting this website: www.vectorworks2008.net Quote Link to comment
0 michael john williams Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 Well they are not calling it 13 on the web site! Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 That's just to placate those amongst us who still believe in sorcery. It's still version 13 Quote Link to comment
0 islandmon Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Needless to say we were all pondering the naming problem. v13 or something similar to ACad naming VW08 ( too similar to v8 ) or VW2008. My preference was for v13 cus it's a Fibonacci Prime. Nevertheless, 2008 is far less radioactive avoiding the sorcery of the thing ( recalling the infamy of Apollo 13 ). The advantage of the v13 is continuity , and VW2008 is predictable yearly versioning. Thank god they didn't go over to Roman numerals. But this begs the question ... should software versioning be based on an arbitrary yearly product cycle. What happens if v13 > VW2008 ... is the most successful release to date but it takes 11 long months to saturate the international market with a sales plateau on month 12 ? And then ... what happens to the scheme in 2013 ? The answer is that we can now expect bi-annual releases for the foreseeable future ... the next version will be VW2010... and you can take that to the bank. Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Nevertheless, 2008 is far less radioactive avoiding the sorcery of the thing ( recalling the infamy of Apollo 13 ). Not so much a case of avoiding sorcery, as caving into the gullible and stupid amongst us. A commercial decision I imagine, judging by the number of those still amongst us with a propensity toward superstition. Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 There's also Apollo 1. Hmm, the mind boggles. Quote Link to comment
0 michael john williams Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Well there was a few more digits left on the 12. something and if it was 12.7 or 12.9 or whatever it would be free. So far I have only had a brief look at the improvements but the components in section are a must, but I would like to see it first before I believe it. Quote Link to comment
