Kevin McAllister Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I had checked for a 2020 license earlier today thinking it was either this week or next that it would appear. Just checked again and its now there. As you say, it seems the rollout is happening tonight.... Downloading it now. Kevin Quote Link to comment
TKA Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 wait a minute, there is no orchestra and singing praises for the new release, just a silent spy like appearance??? Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Kevin K Posted September 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2019 Well.....my head is slowly shaking back and forth. This will be the first year that I will not be upgrading to a new version. Same old issues and tools not working as they should. A new barn door option....really???? that's IT?? I was raised that if you don't have something good to say about something, or someone, you just keep quiet. Very hard for me to do as it turns out, but this time I will keep quiet. I had such high hopes. Oh well. 5 Quote Link to comment
Bas Vellekoop Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 https://www.vectorworks.net/en-US/2020 A shame that the window and door tools are still lacking, but the history based modeling tools are going to make 3D-modeling so much easier and faster. This will have a big positive impact on my workflow! 4 Quote Link to comment
Andrew Davies Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) That's odd - I can only download Vision 2020 Suddenly changed - downloading now. Must have caught the website just as it was being updated Edited September 10, 2019 by Andrew Davies Quote Link to comment
Andrew Davies Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Ohh.... dark mode! Not a full UI re-vamp but a step in the right direction! 1 Quote Link to comment

Christiaan Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Some of my favourites: Dark Mode for Mac RAL colour palettes PDF optimisation Improved Notes Manager Improved Title Block History-based modelling IFC referencing In-line editing of list interfaces like the nav palette Collapsible grouping of settings the OIP Early signs that the door/window tools are getting some love going forwards. Not a fan at all of the naming of "Barn Door" (would have preferred Wall Mounted Slider) but the implementation is great. Looking forward to the rest of the door/window tool getting this sort of treatment. 3 Quote Link to comment
Sebastiaan Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 DWG export of rotated lighting instruments works properly now. Thank you developement team!! DMX patching is a pleasant surprise too! Quote Link to comment
twk Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Good spotting guys. There's no mention of this anywhere on the socials. Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I had a sneaking suspicion that this version wasn't going to be something to celebrate. Maybe there will be some hidden gems but I won't hold my breathe. I suppose I do like the updated history based modeling, the updated data tags and the walk-thru animation tool. I'm at a point where I'm starting to feel like upgrading next year will not be worth it. I guess I need to trust that I don't know all the ins and outs of upgrading certain tools. How hard can it be to upgrade the stair tool and doors and windows? 4 Quote Link to comment

Asemblance Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Is there somewhere with an official list of all the new/changed features? Surprised how this has snuck out today, can't see our office bothering to upgrade for a good while based on what I've seen so far.. 2 Quote Link to comment

Yep, we will be leaving this upgrade until at least service pack 4, going by previous experiences. Quote Link to comment
barkest Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Overall there are some 'bits' that are useful and will save time. Graphics improvement is a big one and the modelling history will reduce the back and forth. Some elements I was hoping for, although in reality not expecting, stair tool for example. On the surface an ok upgrade Quote Link to comment

Our experience on macOS 10.14 is good so far. I'm also running v2020 on macOS 10.15 beta. Stability is good but there are a interface speed issues to deal with (in both v2019 and v2020) before macOS 10.15 is released. Edited September 10, 2019 by Christiaan Quote Link to comment

I'm still in shock with how bad the icons in the menus look now .... look very old and amateurish.. (windows 95 ?) 5 Quote Link to comment
Andrew Davies Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I think it's typical to "Sneak it out" - makes sense to me. Don't want crashing servers. I echo @Christiaanlist so far - love the collapsable info palettes - but why on earth are they not implemented all the way through? Like may other features (tags last year) - they feel half baked. Callout tool info palette doesn't have any collapsable sections - why not? Quote Link to comment
line-weight Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I just looked through the 'new features' brochure... got all hopeful about the door & window tool update, but it looks like it's fiddling round the edges instead of the complete rewrite of those tools that is urgently needed? 1 Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 The OpenGL speed improvements that were discussed in a Teaser Tuesday are immediately noticeable. I was able to load a complex model in OpenGL and navigate much more quickly than in previous versions, which is a welcomed improvement! All of the icons in the program were redrawn. Some for the better, some will take some getting used to. Looking forward to that full UI redesign some day! Quote Link to comment
Asemblance Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Thanks @Christiaan - I can see there are actually a bunch of potentially useful items in the full update list - the less glamorous information management /IFC stuff sounds potentially very useful. But will depend on how well they have been implemented in reality versus the blurb. Quote Link to comment
