dtheory Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Jim.. What are the TV references?.. I like trivia like this, have not found anything in OS or other product code names that alludes to TV references specifically... Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Here you go @dtheory Cheetah Puma (Pete Puma) Jaguar (with John Steed of the Avengers ) Panther Tiger, Tony the Tiger Leopard (Za Za Gabor) Lion (Snagle Puss the cowardly lion) Maverick Yosemite (Sam) El Capitan ( Zoro's foil, pun intended) High Sierra Edited March 5, 2019 by Jim Smith 2 2 Quote Link to comment
RGyori Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 @Jim Smith , at last someone who apparently watched as much TV in their misspent youth as I! Though Maverick, while a good try, refers to Mavericks Beach south of San Francisco, a renowned spot for big wave surfing. Macverick point Quote Link to comment
dtheory Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Obviously, I can't speak for Jim.. but I believe that the TV show reference was very much tongue-in-cheek... Quote Link to comment
RGyori Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Of course! OK, back to work... Quote Link to comment
Mike Page Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Some users in our office seem to be having trouble with the batt insulation tool since updating to Mohave 10.14.3. The users who are experiencing problems have VW 2019. Whenever the batt insulation tool is used, or an existing batt insulation object is moved the whole program freezes and needs to be shut down. I use VW2018 and haven't updated. I'm a little gun shy about updating my OS since we had so many issues last year with the Mohave update. Has anyone run into this? Just want to make VW aware so we can resolve this. We use the tool quite a bit. Quote Link to comment
Mark Aceto Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 @Jim Wilson , did SP3 remove the 4-core limit? 1 Quote Link to comment

It has not yet. I haven't had a chance to ask Engineering why, I will do so. However ( a personal hunch) it might be something they reserved for a full version release because of the level of testing required for it. Quote Link to comment
SVA Architects Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I just downloaded today VW2019 SP3. It seems a great improvement so far...Well done development team!!! Quote Link to comment
Sky Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 So is it finally safe for me to upgrade to Mojave? 1 Quote Link to comment
ptoner Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Yep, I would agree with that! 1 Quote Link to comment
SVA Architects Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 OK this end. Need a good graphics card, SSD and Ram to spare however. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 22, 2019 Author Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 22, 2019 I am genuinely happy to hear things are working better for folks especially on Mojave. After the feedback I've gotten from Sp3 I am now personally comfortable with advising users to update as well. It's going very smoothly. Now to work on making it even smooooother. 1 Quote Link to comment
Sky Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 @SVA Architects I have the old late-2013 Mac Pro with AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB, 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5 and 64 GB 1866 MHz DDR3. Do you think these specs are still sufficient? This thing is 5-years old but still seems to work great... Quote Link to comment

I ran my 2008 Mac Pro until I got a used 2013 one earlier this year. They are tanks. If you need to you can take it up to 128g ram and there’s a 10 core processor upgrade. Sure a maxed out iMac pro might do better but unless you’re pushing the boundaries of 3D biz you’ll likely be fine for a year or two. Just doing basic BIM I’d say you’re likely good until 2022. 1 Quote Link to comment

SVA Architects Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 SP3 for OSX Mojave rocks. Go for it. Worth the wait... (read my other posts to see how significant this acknowledgement is.) 2 Quote Link to comment
Andrew Pollock Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I find the SP3 noticeably smoother and quicker. Thank you for the great work. I might make the jump to Mojave this week. Quote Link to comment
BenG Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) I don't buy the comments about VW warning not to upgrade. As others have said, I don't spend my time pourimg over the VW forum. They could have sent a note to all license holders - they can send an automatic update notice, can't they? But there is a bigger problem. VW/Nemestchek has gotten very greedy. They want to force you to spend $1500/year for trivial upgrades. I have been using their CAD programs since about 1990 and they have gotten progressively worse about forcing upgrades. This year I have opted out. Then I found out from a support tech that VW doesn't intend to do any more Mojave compatibility fixes to VW18. Feature upgrades is one thing, but fundamental usability fixes are another. VW has become very user unfriendly. I can make VW18 do what I need on Mojave with many workarounds I developed over the years, but I don't think they will ever see any more of my money.

hh_berlin Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 @ptoner i must say, BenG is right. our office is planning to change to one of the big and really reliable cad software houses. VW is getting worse and worse. and more expensive without any real improving - if so, then only a very delayed adaptation to new operating systems. you cant use any so called update before service pack 3 - better 5 what a company philosophy is that?
