Vectorworks 2019 text input slow


Cadplan Architecture

Question

I recently upgraded to VWD 2019 and am experiencing problems entering text. For example when publishing I get prompted to enter a file name, the input box then sort of freezes for a few seconds before I can enter any text, after that the box prompts to enter a location for the PDFs created, again the same thing happens.

 

This evening I was really frustrated when trying to enter text on the design layer as there is an awful lag between pressing the keyboard character key and it appearing on screen, once or twice the character entered disappeared.

 

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Journeyman, I'm running VWX 2017 and I have exactly this problem - any time I edit text (except in a callout) it has to think about it for a second. This includes adjusting justification, style, font, size etc. This started actually when I updated to Mac OS Mojave and I've read that this system software can struggle with text edits on various programmes. I was actually hoping 2019 would be more compatible but I guess not!

 

I'd be keen to hear if anyone else has experienced this also...

VW2019 is unusable for me right now- anytime I try to insert, select, or manipulate text- on a design later or sheet layer, the application locks up (MacOS "beach ball") for 10-15 seconds or more.)

 

The OIP is not docked.

I rarely have time in my busy practice to post on this forum, but I completely agree with the comment about VW 2019 being unusable... I am irritated in a way I have never been with any previous versions (and I have been a loyal "user" since 2000)! Modifying text is something I do ALL the time... it's something that should work seamlessly.

To be held hostage for an aeon every time I change a note is more than painful!

And this isn't the only issue with VW2019... there are HUNDREDS.
