Robin Mair Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Doing a Check for Updates does not work for me, it just keeps telling me that I have the current version. I have SP1 installed, is there some other way of getting the SP? Quote Link to comment

I have SP1 installed, is there some other way of getting the SP? It sometimes takes a bit to propagate to all locations. It should either pop up automatically on it's own or show up after running Check for Updates a few minutes after this post. Quote Link to comment
Robin Mair Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Cool! I left it running a kept trying periodically and now it just found it, all good! Quote Link to comment
cberg Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hi Jim, VB-154300 Multiple space labels class fix doesn't seem to have made the cut in SP2. This one is pretty important to our workflow! Quote Link to comment

It looks like the fix wasn't complete in time to make SP2, but it is marked as fixed in SP3. It may also appear as VB-156040, a duplicate filing of the same issue. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Updating to SP2 has failed for me 3 times. I've never had an update fail before. I don't like that the progress bar resets to zero when it fails. I would like to see what its showing at the point of failure which is somewhere just past 70%. Time to contact tech support.

Jeff Miller It's intended to I believe , but I haven't seen any official announcement to say so. I have seen a note saying the majority are fixed, but printing is an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment
Steven Kenzer Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I opted to finally upgrade to Mojave yesterday and have been working all morning with no issues (VW19 sp2). I'm mostly developing 3d furniture models, not any complex architectural work. I think Andrew nailed it..no official announcement but Jim did post confirmation that VW has worked through the majority of Mojave conflicts other than some printing issues. 1 Quote Link to comment

HEengineering Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hmmm, I just tried testing 2 site model that were completed in 17 and tried to open and test with 19. Both seemed to have locked up VW19 SP2 after several attempts. Guess Ill try a reboot? Quote Link to comment

The limit is still in place, however some good news: We have not detected any threading-related problems in tessellation, so the engineers in charge of the VGM are discussing removing the limit completely. I will keep an ear on this as it affects a lot of my work as well, and if there ends up being a way to enable more cores prior to an update, (this is possible but only something id push for if we don't plan to simply unlock it in the near future) I will post. 4 Quote Link to comment
Charlie Winter Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Am I the only one mildly frustrated with the current process of updating. Please direct me to a post about the updater if it exists already. 1 Quote Link to comment
