judgegill Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hi Following on from my previous post... Can anyone help please. ..... We have a massive problem... We run windows XP 64bit Machines with Dual Core Xeons with 4GB ram. We have just installed 2008 and nothing... vectorworks won't run. Having looked into it there is a caviat in the licence agreement saying it may encounter problems and the RAM should be reduced to 2GB?! We also run 3D Studio Max 9 and AutoCAD LT 2009. This cannot be reduced for that reason. Someone must be able to shed some light on this. Other than take out RAM (which is NOT going to happen) Many Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 i have a client that was having severe issued running VectorWorks on XP 64 bit. he has gone back to using VectorWorks 32bit, but he is totally unhappy. He feels that he has been mislead when he read that VectorWorks was able 64bit capable. Quote Link to comment
brudgers Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I spoke with NNA tech support earlier this week. Per my conversation, Vectorworks will run as a 32 bit application under XP Professional 64 and Vista 64. However, it will run more slowly than it would otherwise on an equivalent machine using a 32bit OS. The earlier problems were supposed to have been fixed with service pack 2. I recommend that that you have the latest service pack and contact technical support. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted May 22, 2008 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 22, 2008 Chris, What build of VW 2008 are you running? Quote Link to comment
brudgers Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Having just installed VW 2008 on XP 64, the program wouldn't load until I updated with the latest service pack [build 83388]. After speaking with technical support earlier this week, dwg import is still not working but will be fixed in the next service pack [due out shortly]. So I'm still running my 32 bit XP laptop for dwg related processes...and having to shut down the application on the other computer so I don't get scolded for having two instances of VW on the network. A bit of a pain. Quote Link to comment
