I only use Vectorworks in 2D. I don't use it for rendering and i don't use renderworks etc.
I am trying to understand whether Vectorworks 2017 uses the graphics card to draw or the CPU to draw vectored 2D.
I have an 8 core CPU at 4.2Ghz but it really struggles with Vectorworks 2017. I think this is because VW is a single core process only in the drawing space and therefore performs slowly. Is this correct?
The system requirements recommend at least 2GB dedicated graphics memory which i have. But is this only for renderworks? or is the graphics card used for 2D vector drawings?
To get better performance in 2D (despite my current PC more than meeting the recommended specs) should i upgrade my graphics card or my CPU?
