Jim Smith Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Is there a ETA for 2018 release? Or will we have to wait for the design summit? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted August 14, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 14, 2017 There is no official release date at this time. Personally I do not expect our schedule to stray far from previous years, however. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 It was mentioned there will be shown the new features of VW 2018 at design summit. That would not make much sense if it will be released 5 days before, doesn't it. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted August 14, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 14, 2017 Regardless of the specific release date, I guarantee we would talk about 2018s features whether the release was before or after the Summit. Quote Link to comment
RussU Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 There was a lot of earlier talk that the later design summit did not reflect towards a later release date. Quote Link to comment

zoomer Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 "And now for those who still not watched our presentation videos and our VW 2018 web presentation during the last week, here is again our What's new in VW 2018" My bet, VW 2018 Release and Download Friday September 15. at 0:00 AM Quote Link to comment

Kevin McAllister Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 If I were to guess the release date, I'm pulled in two directions. Traditionally its been a Tuesday. I guess Tuesday the 19th is a possibility as its the first day of the Design Summit. There is a keynote scheduled, but its only an hour. I feel like if this was the big reveal it would be given time/space around it. Many of the attendees will be people who download and play with a new release right away so watching someone talk about it while others out in the world are actually downloading/playing with it seems counterintuitive to me. It also feels like it might derail some of the other sessions later in the day. And its likely many of the distributors are attendees so it would be hard for them to support a roll out away from their home offices. So.... I feel like it might be Tuesday the 12th. Get it out there in the world, let people play with it and then have a focussed audience at the Design Summit. Kevin Quote Link to comment

Was just kidding. Looks like there are 4 or 5 What's new presentations beside the example presentations and courses. I needed half a year until I played with and could remember all What's new in VW 2017. Tuesday was always an Apple release date, so that could deliver their stores with the new products on Monday. As they went to announce products that still do not exist they went to Monday. Since VW does no more rely on CDs or DVDs anymore, I think they are also free with release days in week. Too short in front of a week end may risk the Australians already being out of their offices and at their barbecue parties. Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I think the release is very soon now. My VW2018 serial number appeared in the Service Select portal this afternoon..... Kevin Quote Link to comment

zoomer Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Hmmh, yes .... more and more relaxed developers re-appearing in threads, VW servers slow, Serials, looks like they slipped in calender. As I officially announced that it will happen NEXT week ..... Edited September 8, 2017 by zoomer Quote Link to comment

This year engineering and marketing AND sales all had crunches around the same time with the summit so close to release, bit chaotic but it was fantastic how fast we could get things done when all departments were all hands on deck during the same period.

Ross Harris Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 And those of us in the antipodes get to wait another 2-3 months for the localised version... Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Propably the price to pay for your better windoor tools 😇 Quote Link to comment
Ross Harris Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Yes - that tool and the site modelling capabilities totally sealed the deal to move away from Revit. But I like new stuff to play with.... lol I hope that if ozcad ever decided to shut their doors, VW would pick up and integrate Windoor or pimp that e door and window tool to be as good or better...

Jordan Banks Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 So...FYI - downloading 2018 as we speak. It seems that today is release for SS members Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Ok, well, then I will do the same ... Thanks ! Finally, after downloading VW 2017 SP2 for 387 times ....

Andrew Davies Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Oh no... does this mean no more Teaser Tuesdays? Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Well, @JimWcan continue explaining the features if he wants. I won't spoiler as a VSS privileged, until VW 2018 website is online. To not devaluate the Summit. Quote Link to comment
