Guest Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) A new build of VectorWorks 2008 Service Pack 2 has been posted. We recommend you use the "Check for Updates" button in the "About VectorWorks" dialog to get complete information about the release. If you are using an older version of VW 2008 without the "Check for Updates" functionality, you can find it on the Service Pack 2 page in the downloads section of the NNA web site.

sig_eigei Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hello Katie, Is it possible to know the major changes in this release? Quote Link to comment
Administrator Pharr Posted January 29, 2008 Administrator Share Posted January 29, 2008 You should Check for Updates in the About VectorWorks dialog for complete information. Quote Link to comment
sig_eigei Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks. I would not have intuitively thought to look there for the info. I was expecting to find in on the download page. Good to know it's there. Quote Link to comment
GRC Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Katie, I am one of those for whom VW2008 will not start (invalid S/N bug). Since I can't click on "check for updates" button, how do I get this update and will it fix my bug? I have the 12/17/07 update, which does not fix the problem. Is this a different one? Is there any way to go into the terminal mode and get around the bug? ________________ MBPro 2.33, Leopard Edited January 29, 2008 by SciMan Quote Link to comment

GRC Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Juan, What I didn't put in the post above is that I have been fighting this problem for a month. I called tech support and spent an hour with a tech, reloading, reentering (s/n),dumping files, etc., etc. Nothing worked, including a complete clean install on two different hard drives (internal and external). VW2008 works fine on my PowerMac G5 running Leopard. I am lost. I have many files transfered over the VW2008 and now I can't run them in 12.5. Edited January 30, 2008 by SciMan Quote Link to comment
Will Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Does anyone know if the latest Vectorworks 2008 fixes the problem with serial numbers not being accepted in network accounts? Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 i think naming the update Service Pack 2 (revision 3) is silly. Why not just call it Service Pack 3 and avoid some confusion. Some of my clients thought that Service Pack 2 (revision 2) was bad enough Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 i think naming the update Service Pack 2 (revision 3) is silly. Why not just call it Service Pack 3 and avoid some confusion. Some of my clients thought that Service Pack 2 (revision 2) was bad enough I couldn't agree with you more. Call it what it is: SP3. Quote Link to comment
hpwhitehead Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Is there a way to get the service pack on CD? I am still operating with a dial up internet connection from my home office. I know...I know.....it's crazy. Nothing is available but cell service, not even satllite. CD of service pack? H Whitehead Beaumont, Texas V2208 Sony VAIO Intel Core Duo 2mhz Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Sprint offers awesome wireless connectivity for both LapTops & via base station. Quote Link to comment
leonarp Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I use the Sprint service at home. My only other choice was satellite and I didn't like that choice. Check out Millenicom. They are a reseller of Sprint Mobile Broadband. No contracts, no limits. Just a happy customer. Quote Link to comment

michael john williams Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 We have just downloaded SP2 on one pc to try out. We click on updates and it says that the programme is fully up to date - does that mean SP2 includes all the revisions 1, 2 and 3? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 It should be, yes. What is reported in the about VectorWorks box for a version? Quote Link to comment
michael john williams Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 SP2 build 83388 Quote Link to comment
michael john williams Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It would be nice to have a further response from NNA on this? Has our SP2 got R3 or not? If so why does it not say SP2 R3 or whatever? Quote Link to comment
bonus Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Katie, Your post is dated January 08, but there are no downloads dated 2008 available....? No wonder we're all confused. I can see the problem. 2008 was not ready for release. It is merely a beta version. A series of upgrades called 2008.1 then 2008.1.2 etc in a short time would have been harmful to the reputation. Calling them service packs might make it less obvious to some, but in the end it will do even more harm. Calling any of them SP2 revision 3 - and specifying build numbers - that is too much! As a client of NNA I expect trustworthy information about the product I buy and also swift and correct response on simple questions concerning it. - and I'm sure not alone. So why all this confusion? Give all these people what they have paid for - a functional VW with a comprehensive download support. -please! Sorry to be tough on you, you're not personally responsible, I know. But NNA really needs a SP......Don't be ashamed - be proud of improvements. ...ain't that right Petri? Quote Link to comment
michael john williams Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Still no response from NNA on this. They must be as confused as us! So I will ask the questions again: In 'about vectorworks' should it not say SP2 R3 if you are fully up to date? If not why not? Does the current SP2 contain R1, 2 and 3 but it just does not say this? If you check for updates and it says you are fully up to date and no further updates available then does that answer our questions and SP 2 contained R1, R2 and R3? But it also says build 83388 - what does that mean? Sorry to keep pestering on this, but whilst its good having updates / corrections to iron out the bugs, it has to be clear what update you have.

Guest Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 It will report 83388 as the build number if you are up to date. Quote Link to comment
bonus Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 michael, SP 2 contains SP1. SP 2 R3 is called "SP2 build 83388". That is the latest version. Why it's not called VW13.2.3 is a mystery to me... Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Why it's not called VW13.2.3 is a mystery to me... I would have gone for v13.0.3, but I'm guessing NNA have decided to get rid of that versioning altogether so as not to confuse with their new versioning (which is apparently to emphasise the new annual release cycle).

Connys Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I do agree with archoncad, call dem SP1, 2, 3, 4... I will now doanload SP2 r3, I did not realize it was a new servicepack, in fact SP 4?? Wow I really missed this, let?s see if my problem with not beeing able to stretch walls in rotated mode has been fixed. Quote Link to comment
