mraiff Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I am having a hard time getting my User Libraries to show up in the Resource Manager in 2020 on my Mac. I have put the folders I want in User>Library>Application Support>Vectorworks>2020>Libraries. (also shown as my User Folder) I have also tried putting it in the Application Libraries Folder. No matter what I do, they don't show up in the RM. It worked just fine in 2019, so I'm a little lost. Thanks for any advice ! Quote Link to comment
0 Boh Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Have you tried refreshing your Libraries or restarting vectorworks? Quote Link to comment
0 mraiff Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Yes, I have tried both of those multiple times. Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) I think there was a change in how VW reads the Path. I think in previous VW versions you had to select the Libraries Folder, while since VW 2020 you need to select only the parent 2020 Folder. (Trailing "/" needed or not ?) Or something like this. Doesn't matter for me, as I forget the right Path writing every September ! Each year I need 3-5 trial attempts until the Path finally works. EDIT : Sorry, I miss-read and thought it is about the Workgroup Folder. User Folder should work out of the box. The only thing I can imagine is that you directly copied your VW 2019 Files over into VW 2020 User Folder and it will ignore the older File Format. At least I did a Batch Conversion of my VW 2019 Workspace Folder to VW 2020, and (after I finally found the correct Path writing) my migrated Workspace data appeared pretty quickly, while the Ressource Refresh.
