xaxakes74 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I have installed Sierra and after the installation I couldn't import a jpg anymore as an 1-bit PNG in my Vectorworks 2016.

0 Francisco J. D. Rogers Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Sorry: You are running VectorWorks 2016 on OSX Sierra? How is it? I tried a very times after update my Mac to run VW 2016, but nothing happens. The app icon even do not bounce on the dock. After that appears an error log and crash. Link to comment
0 xaxakes74 Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 It works fine apart for the 1-bit import and that all the plans that are using 1-bit import when I try to export them they are in Black and white which is very annoying. I have a laptop with the older Mac OS and I can continue to work properly. It's really annoying Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Vectorworks - Admin Posted November 4, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 4, 2016 Vectorworks 2016 and 2017 have not yet been made compatible with Sierra yet. I'll log this as an item to be tested once they're made compatible. Link to comment
0 xaxakes74 Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 My Vectorworks support team wrote back after 2 weeks stating that this will be fixed with SP5 for VW2016 Unfortunately SP1 for VW2017 didn't fix it Link to comment

Rogers said: Exactly: We then must pay for use! What? No, Vectorworks 2016 has not yet been patched for Sierra compatibility. 2017 got its compatibility patch first. Service packs are released free of charge. Link to comment
0 Francisco J. D. Rogers Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Then we must wait for it. I hope works fine. Other thing, I want migrate to 2017, but in Chile the projects are going less each day. Cheers Link to comment
