alexandra Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hi. I tried to look around the forum, and i found only 2 or 3 comments mentioning that 2014 more or less works on sierra. I am reluctant to update my MacBook Pro from Mavericks to Sierra, as i fear that i couldn't use my Vectorworks any more. And unfortunately - since sierra is out - it is impossible to get a hold of El Capitan. Thank you for your help, best alexandra Quote Link to comment

I don't know whether or not upgrading to El Capitan using Vw2014 is wise in your situation, but it is still possible to download El Capitan from the Apple App Store: Upgrade to OSX El Capitan I would not advise upgrading to Sierra unless you are also going to upgrade to Vw2017, as that is the only version of Vectorworks fully compatible with Sierra.

alexandra Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 thank you but my computer ist not eligible to this el capitan download. it is only for older machines who cannot run sierra. upgrading to VW2017 costs a lot of money and for now i would like to stick with VW 2014. so - either i find out if VW 2014 works ok-ish on Sierra (I am not a hard-core user) or - i find an El Capitan i can use.. hmmm...

rDesign Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) Ah well - good luck. (I saw your thread over at the Apple Support community). Personally, I liked Yosemite better than El Capitan. Edited December 3, 2016 by rDesign Quote Link to comment
alexandra Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 well i do have yosemite .. never tried it though. i will have a read through the "make a bootable stick and install" process again and see if i still can do that ... thank you so far Quote Link to comment
alexandra Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 hello. i got some news on this one. i was able to install VW 2014 onto sierra, and so far it works fine. only thing not working: i cannot install the service packs.. for whatever reason.. kind of annoying. it unpacks the file.. and when i double click to install.. the process dies right away. i mainly use vectorworks fundamentals for 2d plans and plan layout (style sheets), so i cannot tell you about any 3D stuff working or not. but it installed fine and runs ok for me.

I experienced something similar when I tried to install Adobe CS 6 on macOS Sierra and these instructions might be able to help you install Vw2014 Service Packs on Sierra. Just a thought.

David Dickes Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I am running VW 2014 Architect on High Sierra with no problems whatever. Not sure about future updates though. Quote Link to comment
