DonMiki Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hi, I installed Mac OS Mojave public beta and Vectorworks slows down maximally. Is anything I can to repear it or I must down the system? Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted June 27, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 27, 2018 We do not support any beta operating systems, apologies. I recommend keeping any important production hardware on the release versions of macOS only. Quote Link to comment
0 DonMiki Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 I know, but maybe someone find the way to speed up VW? Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted June 27, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 27, 2018 Your best bet is to reset Vectorworks preferences: That OS beta is around a day old, so it's unlikely any workarounds for it have been developed by the userbase or any employees here yet.

0 DonMiki Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 It does not work... Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted June 28, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 28, 2018 Then in that case I recommend returning to a previous OS version, we will announce once one or more versions of Vectorworks is compatible with Mojave. Quote Link to comment
0 steve s Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I Installed it too, just for fun, VW was incredibly slow, so i went back to High Sierra. Quote Link to comment

That's Metal 😉 Except that OpenGL support hasn't gone away or changed at all in current. It will at some point in the future but not likely in the next 2 years. Edit to add: Unless your being paid to do it. Running a beta is just not advisable. VW pays people to suffer that fate, indeed some group of damned souls inside NNA headquarters is probably running VW2019 alpha or beta on Mac OS beta. Let them get on with it and go back to your High Sierra boot disk. Edited July 4, 2018 by Matt Overton To add. 2 Quote Link to comment

It will at some point in the future but not likely in the next 2 years. That was a joke. Yes, Support is gone away, as it it will no longer be upgraded or enhanced. Yes, OpenGL is still there in Mojave. If OpenGL will still be in any Mojave's successor, is solely Apple's decision. It is likely that it will last some years, but Apple made a lot of other decisions with negative impacts that I wouldn't bet that it will stay for many years. But now as you mentioned .... So why will VW be so noticeably slower in first Mojave Beta ? I don't think there are many critical changes in CPU usage that could slow VW down very much. I rather tend to think that they indeed deactivated OpenGL in the first Beta and now every former UI interaction and display, previously running in GPU hardware acceleration, now is running in slower CPU Software emulation mode. Just to give developers a small glimpse of how the future of their Software will look if they don't do what Apple told. 😉 (Just pure speculation) Quote Link to comment
0 Matt Overton Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Beta's are fuzzy at the edges, Vectorworks is an edge case that uses very little system UI and who knows what over cross-platform tricks. So it could be almost anything and there are people in NNA and Apple who's job it is to find the friction. I'll let them speculate and build test cases. Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Now you have betrayed that there will be a VW 2019 at some point ..... Quote Link to comment
0 DonMiki Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Beta 2 is coming... Maybe VW starts to live again 😉 I'll try for the moment. Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Popular Post PVA - Admin Posted July 6, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2018 Engineering has identified an issue related to the Object Info palette that seems to be badly conflicting with a a change between High Sierra and Mojave. It results in extreme slowness and delays across the board for Vectorworks. We will post an official compatibility statement ASAP. 5 Quote Link to comment
0 DonMiki Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Nothing change after installing beta 2. But it is true, when I closed Object info palette VW runs faster. Quote Link to comment
0 Francisco J. D. Rogers Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hello to all: I install VW in each Beta I tested before to preview if I must update all my software when the final release appear. In my experience, working since VW 2008, when update to Yosemite must update to 2014, after that with El Capitan, 2016 was the choice. Now I always operate with High Sierra Beta, and VW 2017 works perfectly. But Mojave is other thing because Apple left to work with Open GL and CL, then I think some troubles will appear using Metal. For that, I suggest maintain High Sierra to work efficiently. Regards. Quote Link to comment
0 gester Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 if it's an opengl issue, then maxon will have to switch to metal for cinerender, too. because there comes archicad as well... i only hope that mojave will improve for this issue, because for the new computers it'd mean to go back to the previous os versions.

0 zoomer Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 OpenGL will still be available in Mojave and maybe in further macOS releases too. And OpenGL is also available in the Beta. Didn't read of any problems with other OpenGL software so far. As Jim said, it was just a Problem with a indigestibility of the Object Info Palette's Code that made VW lag. As far as rumored, C4D will do a Metall version for Apple (or Apple may help and do it (partly) for them) Nearly all 3D DCC or CAD App on Mac (or in general) uses and needs OpenGL and is therefore effected in some way by Apple's decision.

0 gester Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) lacking apple support for opengl _is_ an issue for macintosh machines, and a big one. and, regardless of opengl presence in mac os, it really matters if vw still keeps opengl for the future releases or not. the sooner maxon introduces metal for cinerender, the better.

0 Jan2010 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Testing Mojave as well, also with VW2018. I can confirm that it is lagging a lot. Turning off the Object palette helps and as a workaround you can enter Values via right click-> properties. Also I noticed that since the newest Beta it looks like things speed up a bit but it is still slow but workable. But apart from that startup is quite slow as well. Haven't found any other major problems by now. If you really need VW2018 fully working and you don't have a different computer than your productive system then absolutely DON`T update....

0 DonMiki Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Beta 3 - a little bit better, but only little :( Quote Link to comment
0 James Mitchell Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Beta 4 performs much better than previous betas. However, object info pallet and tool sets selection is still completely unusable. Quote Link to comment
0 DonMiki Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Final OS Mojave still does not work properly with VW 2018, for example: problem with palettes... empty container 😞 Edited September 25, 2018 by DonMiki Quote Link to comment
0 DonMiki Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) OS Mojave - VW 2019 - files created in older VW does not work... Edited September 25, 2018 by DonMiki Quote Link to comment
0 James Mitchell Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 2019 shows all of the pallets, but still has extremely slow performance on Mac OS Mojave. When can we expect a service pack to fix these issues since Mojave has officially be released? Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I see strange lags when working with Navigation Palette, but can't see anything spectacular about the OIP so far. Mojave Release is macOS 10.14 (18A391). I read that latest Beta was something like (18A398) already. Does someone have the release number of the macOS Beta where VW ran well or better ?
