Vectorworks has detected an unknown display adapter type...


Recommended Posts

I continue receiving this message when firing up Vectorworks 2017 and 2016 on my MacBook Pro Retina running 10.10.5.

 

All of my drawings now look like the second screen shot and Vectorworks has effectively become unusable.

 

Anyone else experienced anything like this before? All of my googling has only discovered help for people using HP computers, not macs.

 

Thanks,
Joel

Should anyone come across this thread in the future, be sure that your display is not configured to run 10-bit color by way of a SwitchResX Control Panel...Vectorworks does not like it at all.  Switching back to 8-bit color from the short cut menu (millions of colors) appears to have resolved this issue.
