If it you find any situations where you can't, let me know! I see two bugs listed as fixed related to that but they had separate causes. Quote Link to comment
Asemblance Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hi All, Is there a definitive list of new tools introduced in Vwx 2019? Specifically tools with 'buttons' which should be in the default workspace? I know there is a checkbox on immigration of workspaces from 2018 to add new tools, but for some reason this doesn't seem to have worked for me. Rather than setting up all my shortcuts and other settings again, I'd rather just manually add the new tools in their appropriate locations. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Yes, in the Workspace Editor Lists are : What is new in .... with the latest 3 Versions. Also you can see what went away 1 Quote Link to comment
Ross Harris Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 With the amount of quite serious bugs that have come to light in less than a week and confirmation of longstanding broken features not fixed, is it time for a renewed call for open beta testing or an insider preview setup like MS have been doing for Windows 10? 3 Quote Link to comment
Wesley Burrows Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I agree with you, typically, the "open beta" ends up being the official release until service pack 2 or so. Something like Release SP0 = Open Beta, SP1 = Release Candidate. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ross Harris Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 That would be a better look - anyone reading this and a couple of other 2019 threads after looking at the glossy publicity would be sensing some red flags... Here's a good example of open community testing for a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) ... don't let the price fool you - the platform is incredibly powerful and has many long time protools users (the defacto standard in the industry) migrating to it due to bugs and Avid's arrogance toward its user base...

line-weight Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 These guys do it too https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/publisher/ They've shown they can provide 95% of the functionality of the big Adobe apps without the price tag. And with a nice UI and decent support forums. I wish someone would come along and do the same for the CAD/BIM realm... Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Vote for the open beta wishlist item if you haven't already - Kevin 2 Quote Link to comment
JChe Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 A lot of manufacturers offer different 3d formats for their products. Is there one that works best for importing into vectorworks? Quote Link to comment

Revit costs 2200/year. And basically requires a ACAD license for other common tasks. Evens out with larger teams but for smaller ones VW is cheaper both software and hardware costs.

line-weight Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The point of the affinity apps is that they are built from scratch with a focus on the UI. They are cheaper than photoshop but also don't have the legacy of years of iterations on a longstanding system. VW is cheaper than Revit, yes, but it's bogged down in years of legacy function and has a terrible UI. There's no 'clean start' in the design of VW. 2 Quote Link to comment
