John Meunier Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Ray, Thanks, I guess I should have looked a little deeper, Early November, not to far off now. Quote Link to comment
FRED JOHNSON Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Since my new IMac should arrive by thursday of this week, and I purchased VWA2009 in July with a free upgrade offer to VW2010 I am taking NNA at its word and emailed a request for the 2010 upgrade. I am expecting to have to pay the $15 shipping cost and even offered to return the unopened 2009. I will let the Board know if I have any problems getting the free upgrade. Quote Link to comment
michael john williams Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I expect free to be free with no additional cost for shipping, etc. Quote Link to comment
FRED JOHNSON Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Upgrade to 2010 VWA/RW was free with free training DVD offer. $9.99 shipping cost - out the door to me today. Edited October 13, 2009 by FRED JOHNSON Quote Link to comment
tkvwuserforum Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Still no news on the Snow Leopard patch for VW2009... Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Upgrade to 2010 VWA/RW was free with free training DVD offer. $9.99 shipping cost - out the door to me today. Curious what the training DVD is. I was told they had nothing for 2010. Please tell us. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 strange they should say they have nothing for 2010, my essential and architect manuals are shipping who is "they"? Quote Link to comment
FRED JOHNSON Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Bruce, The 2010 training DVD has a little of everything, indluding fundamentals and spotlight,I believe, as well as taking one through a small project - similar to the 2009 VWA traianing dvd I suppose. Funny thing, I also received the 2009 training dvd which would not run under SN. Quote Link to comment

Bruce Kieffer Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) strange they should say they have nothing for 2010, my essential and architect manuals are shipping who is "they"? Nemetschek. I specifically asked if there were any training DVDs, and I was told no. She (Kristin) said they were being provided third party by you (Jonathan). I was asking for them to be included free with my upgrade. That is why I'm curious what they sent Fred. Edited November 20, 2009 by Bruce Kieffer Quote Link to comment
PeterT Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Bruce, Have you checked out the Free Resources Nemetschek has posted on their website? They have a Getting Started tutorial for most of the industry series products, as well as Fundamentals: Free Resources There is also a link to some more comprehensive user guides that are written by third parties, but are not free: Guides & Publications Quote Link to comment
Steven Kenzer Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Getting back to the original post on this thread....what's the status of the update for VW2009/Snow Leopard? Evidently this is taking much longer then expected. I, for one, would like to update my system to Snow Leopard, but am holding back because of VW2009 incompatibility. What's the scoop Nemetschek?

Administrator Pharr Posted November 22, 2009 Administrator Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi everyone, We are a couple of weeks behind our anticipated schedule on the 2009 SP5 release. Every aspect of changing and releasing older software is more labor intensive and prone to error because it is not the project everyone is working with on a daily basis. We are taking the time to make sure this final VW 2009 release is high quality. We expect this release to be out the door the first week in December, but we will release it earlier if possible. Sorry if this delay has affected your Snow Leopard plans. Thanks, Paul Pharr CIO NNA Quote Link to comment
FRED JOHNSON Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Bruce, Yes its titled "Vectorworks 2010 getting Started Guide" Quote Link to comment
Steven Kenzer Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Thank you for the update Paul....it's helpful to gain a better sense of scheduling on this....sounds like 2 weeks to go. Quote Link to comment
vectorspark Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 VW 2009. As with any public information just let the public know. Your 2009/snow leopard page still says early November so I look everyday. Now I know not to look until late next week earliest. Just keep us informed that's all I ask. I mean your eDispatch didn't mention anything either. With reference to legacy software support (?) I'm sure snow leopard was identified as a release not long after 2009 was released. The real reason you didn't update it sooner is to push us into buying 2010. For this reason and this reason alone I'm not buying 2010. I'll wait till 2011. I know my little bit of money makes no difference to you, but it makes me feel better. Still great software, it's just my personal stand. Quote Link to comment
sandmed Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 We like VW and have kept versions mostly current since Minicad in the 80's. But it's ridiculous that we have a brand new iMac 27-inch which can't be used because VW 2009 will not run on it. In addition, my other workstations are on hold for upgrade to Snow Leopard. Meanwhile Adobe CS3, MS Office 2008, Quickbooks 2007 and almost everything else older than VW 2009 work under Snow Leopard (some admittedly only after free updates). Do I feel frustrated about VW? yes Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 sandmed, I have been running VW 2009 on OS 10.6 without any readily apparent problems. Of course I assume it's running under Rosetta, but so do a lot of other programs I have. Obviously running any software under an 'emulation' is not anyone's idea of perfection, however it seems to work for the short term. As Mr Pharr has said, they are very close to having an SP finished. So a bit of patience (or a bit more patience) seems appropriate ;-) Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Peter, why would VW2009 run under Rosetta? It's a Universal application. I assumed that the issues with VW2009 were bugs, not that the application needed to be re-written. Am I missing something? No problems with VW2009 SP4 on OS X 10.6.2? That's great. I'm going to upgrade over the weekend. Just for the record, you're not seeing any of the problems listed on the NNA FAQ? - Toggling Quartz Imaging in Vectorworks Preferences display tab, crashes the application - Importing any DXF/DWG files crashes Vectorworks 2009 - Vectorworks files cannot be opened by drag and drop - Macintosh Spotlight features do not work with Vectorworks 2009 on Snow Leopard - Random crashes Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hmm. Perhaps I am wrong. It's happens every now and then ;-) Admittedly I am not using 2009 for much day-to-day work as I am already well entrenched in 2010. So I guess I will let NNA answer, and as Mr Pharr has stated it will not be long before there is a new SP which will hopefully solve all of the issues. Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 You're having better luck w/ 2010? I switched back to 2009 because I kept finding bugs and having crashes with 2010. I'm beginning to wonder about that SP for 2009. First it was due in early November, then it was due in the first week of December. The first week has come and gone and still no SP. I'm especially bummed because I just upgraded from my little first-gen MacBook to a swanky 27" i5 iMac (running Snow Leopard.) The old MacBook was starting to act a little wonky and the lack of speed was killing me. Wish me luck. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 So far so good here ;-) Have you repaired permissions?? Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Oh yeah. Didn't seem to make any difference. It's possible that the problem is with the file, I updated it from '08 to '09 & then to '10. It's also possible that my problems were related to the "wonkyness" of my old MacBook. I'm up & running on the new machine. We'll see how things go. Quote Link to comment
