Hardware Upgrade Information
A regular line of questioning I see here; users who want to upgrade their hardware, but want to make sure they get the best bang for the buck. Since hardware changes so rapidly, any specific recommendations I make will quickly become outdated and unhelpful.
Because of that, instead of recommending specific hardware, in the below article I outline various components of a computer and what those components do as far as affecting Vectorworks performance directly. The intention is to give you an
No official list unfortunately. However the general list at the moment:
Actions that include duplicating, moving, calculating solids geometry, cut/add/intersect surface, and tool loading are all single core activities. Meaning that having more cores will not make them any faster. While TECHNICALLY a faster CPU core will make them faster, even comparing a 2Ghz core to a 5Ghz core yeilds hardly any difference (sub 1-2% in my tests), so the difference is academic.
