Screen Refresh Has Become Buggy Since Installing Sierra 10.12.2

[Bruce Kieffer]

I'm seeing a lot of odd things of objects, text, and dimensions not appearing correctly, mostly when navigating to a previous view. A forced refresh of the screen seems to solve this. Only noticed this since installing 10.12.2. Anyone else experiencing this?

I've noticed this too. Not necessarily confined to the recent service pack as its been tricky since upgrading to 2017. Light object visibility has been the worst problem, particularly within symbols.

 

btw, how do you refresh the screen? I've only been able to do this on AutoCad.

Refresh the screen with a double click on the Pan (Hand) tool, or double click the keyboard shortcut (cmd-H by default) for the tool.

Thanks Pat.

 

I've been using VW for 10 years and never knew that!

I've been using the eyedropper tool today to pick up a fill color and put that color on another object. It worked for a short time, now I have to zoom in or out to refresh the screen and see the change. This is not good. I'm going to try quitting and restarting Vectorworks, but I hate doing that because it takes 22 seconds to get it running again. Wasted time.

Here's an example; I come back to this file and see this mess:

 

I take an action that causes a screen fresh and things go back to normal:

This is a bad problem. Today I drew a rectangle, extruded it, deleted the rectangle and everything in my drawing disappeared. I quit and restarted Vectorworks and my objects appeared again. This is the third computer I see this problem on. It really makes working inefficient.

Does the same issue occur after resetting preferences? Does it after altering Tools > Options > Vectorworks Preferences > Display > Navigation Graphics (Either switching it from or to BEst PErformance or Best Compatibility) and then working in the different mode for awhile ?
