0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Rob Books Posted March 18, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 18, 2020 if you are in 2018 or newer, you no longer need to download all the content. it is available through the Resource Manager. to remove any libraries, go into the application folder and find the libraries folder. delete anythign you do not need there. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hi Rob Books I think content package is not included in default. for example Object - Building Furniture, After download content pack, I have to click Refresh Library. They will show more file .vwx I go to location: C:\Program Files\Vectorworks 2020\Libraries\Objects - Building Furnishings There're file .proxy. Is It ok if I delete these files?

0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Rob Books Posted March 19, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 19, 2020 the proxy files are what makes everything visible in the Resource manager, they hold the thumbnails that are shown. unless you are an institution, you no longer need to download the Package files for symbols, they are all available in the Resource Manager to download as needed. The other place to check for the files is in your user folder, also in the Libraries folder. if you click on Tools>Options> Vectorworks Preferences, you can find your user folder.

0 Travis.Designer Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Hi Rob Books There's not online content in Resources Manager. There's no cloud icon. I checked Tools > Options > Vectorworks Preferences > Session Tab > checked "Enable Online Content". How can I fix it? I use Vectorworks 2020 Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Rob Books Posted March 20, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 20, 2020 There are two icons that you should have active, the Vectorworks symbol that is the general libraries that everyone gets, and if you are on Service Select Program, you will have the Cloud icon. two separate libraries. make sure that they are highlighted at the top of your Resource Manager like the image attached. if not reach out to your distributor they can help you.

0 Josh Schulman Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Hi Rob, I spy in your Resource Manager Lumenpulse. Does that mean it is being added to the libraries? 😁 Quote Link to comment
