expos? confusing to VW?


Recommended Posts

I think expos? is one of the best features of OS X, and I use it extensively to quickly switch between open documents.

vectorworks however, doesn't seem to understand expos?'s window management. When I bring up all open vw drawings, and select another drawing, Vectorworks brings the correct window to the front, but all commands continue to operate on the drawing I was previously working in, which is now out of sight. The new front most window is static, it's impossible to select anything or perform any kind of operation, every command goes to the other drawing. The only way to solve this is to go through the window menu or back to the Finder first.

This happens on different machines, and in both VW 10 and 11.

Vectorworks is the only application I'm aware of that misbehaves like this with expos?.

Anyone else seeing this? Anyone find a solution?

I too use Expos?, but unlike your experience, I am having no problem with the window focus, full control switches to the frontmost document.

However I did see problems like this with version 9 VW, though for the life of me I cannot remember the cause of it.

I find it is still an issue occasionally with Worksheet windows, staying in the front, but losing focus. What OS version are you using?
