If it is a big monitor, but only 1080P (meaning a resolution of 1920 x 1080), then the sizes of the individual pixels will be large and things will not look as crisp as you Retina displays. Alternatively, if the default resolution on the monitor is 1080P, but you are driving it to a higher resolution, then individual pixels won't match and you will get a blurrier image. It is a 1080p but you can see that only mode bar has the problem Quote Link to comment

Globally, for any App But I think they are on track. Quote Link to comment

I can't live without my wired CadMaus. Never knew they had a forum for Mac users, so this is a great resource! More info: https://3dconnexion.com/us/support/faq/beta-driver-for-macos-11-big-sur/ "Due to significant changes made by Apple the first wireless model, the CadMouse Wireless (launched 2017) and the original CadMouse device (wired, launched in 2015) are currently incompatible with macOS Big Sur. We are working on a solution... Please note that this driver is still under development. We do not recommend using it in a production environment where data loss cannot be tolerated."

zoomer Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Yes, I understood it at first as "originial CADMouse USB will never work on Big Sur" But I think it was meant "original CADMouse will currently still not run with Beta Driver". Currently it just does not work at all beside moving Cursor and Scroll Wheel. At least original 3D Navigator and Enterprise got their 3D Navigation Back on C4D, Vectorworks and Bricscad, with the latest Beta. Quote Link to comment

Tim Norman-Prahm Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 @JuanP I am following both this and the main Big Sur and I wanted to ask if there was a general update or the upgrade following the release on the 12th of Nov. It was said that some feedback would be given in a few days after its release and I was wondering how that was going? I am using - VW2021 SP2 Mac Book Pro Late 2016 2.7 Quad core i7 Radeon Pro 455 2GB 16GB RAM Quote Link to comment

BTW They already provided a Firmware Update, (The firmware updater is Windows only so far) so the original CADMouse wired works fine again ! SM Enterprise Button hick ups and illegible "Dark Mode" on Display remained so far. And, AFAIK we are still far from an Apple Silicon capable driver. Quote Link to comment

You were able to update the wired CADmouse with the Windows driver, plug it into your Intel Mac, and it works on Big Sur? Edited December 13, 2020 by Mark Aceto Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) It works on Big Sur Intel Mac with Firmware Update + latest Beta Driver. I had a Service Request and they sent me a Windows only Firmware Updater. After I stated that it worked, AFAIK they posted the Firmware Updater on their Beta Driver FAQ page. Not sure if the Firmware Updater needs a 3DCon Driver installed, so maybe it should work on any Windows Machine available by just pluging in your 3DCon devices. I Updated both, CADMouse + Enterprise. (But as said, no updates for Enterprise issues at that time) Edited December 13, 2020 by zoomer Quote Link to comment

Placing a simple cube in space - it rotates slowly then spins out in space wildly. Not working in Vectorworks 2021. Same issue in Vectorworks 2020 - Placing a simple cube in space - it rotates slowly then spins out in space wildly.- Not working. We believe to have addressed an issue in driver that affected VectorWorks in unexpected ways (objects would disappear from view). I do not know if this is what you're experience but I would suggest trying the next driver update, beta 11. "Beta 10" failed verification and we're completing "beta 11", expected to be made available tomorrow (Wednesday) or Thursday. Maybe some of those reports from disappearing geometry in OpenGL, are from users using Mac, Big Sur and 3DConnexion driver ? 3 Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Word of warning: I updated to Big Sur 11.1 (20C69) today and now I'm noticing a weird problem with palettes that I've never experienced before. Unsnapped palettes (in my case the Attributes and Resource Browser) appearing at something like 99% transparency. I managed to make the Attributes palette become opaque by grabbing it and snapping it to another palette. But I've had no such luck with the RB so far; I can't get hold of it. I can snap other palettes to it, but if I unsnap them again the RB disappears again. I've left the Attributes palette and RB snapped together for now, which is keeping the RB opaque. Edit: I'm also having some pretty major issues with layer visibilities. I was having issues in the previous version of macOS Big Sur but these seem to have gone into overdrive now. Layers showing when they shouldn't, layers not appearing when they active, OpenGL artefacts, etc. Edit 2: I had the same problem with objects on layers showing when those layers were off in the previous version of Big Sur but now they seem more persistent. Whereas in the previous version of Big Sur I could get rid of them by activating the layer and turning it invisible again, now the thing that seems to work is quitting VW and reopening it.

khill2 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Upgraded without thinking, just because I'm off work over Christmas and figured was a good time to do it, but VW21 with BigSur seems to have the navigation lagging which I've only ever had before on a very large file. the Mac is well specced for what's needed and not missing anything so I'm guessing it must be a bug? Zooming in and out and panning across the screen is has like a half second delay with every move suddenly. Anyone else finding this? Quote Link to comment
Andrew Pollock Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I've been happy with VW 2021. The new features are great and it just seems zippier. I don't know why I should upgrade to Big Sur at this point. I'm not sure what I'd be gaining and from the posts I've seen here, there are too many risks. 1 Quote Link to comment

Anyone else finding this? Yes. I thought that would be a VW 2021 thing, with new OpenGL functions like different resolutions depending on scale and unloading occluded geometry. I also always thought, for less crowded files, this would be overall less responsive and worse than it was before where it would just keep all geometry in memory. On the other hand I have Big Sur since first Public Beta - so already before VW 2021 release. So I just do not know VW 2021 and latest graphics any better on any previous macOS. And basically I did all real VW work on a faster Windows PC. So I would expect my old Trash Can being the cause of being slower anyway. Edited January 3, 2021 by zoomer Quote Link to comment

Hi - I have gone for it with 2021 and Big Sur - all up to date with latest VW service pack. From my experience everything works okay and I felt panning and zooming was in fact faster/smoother than Catalina. I am using a Mac Book Pro late 2016, 2.7ghz, 16GB RAM My files though may be a bit light and so not pushing the limits with full on BIM. It is mostly CAD with some 3d modelling, wall and roof components. 3D more of a sketch. Quote Link to comment

Tim Norman-Prahm Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) I have noticed a small issue with the dialog box when saving a pdf from the print dial box. I can only see 3 rows and cannot expand the panel. I noticed this before on 2019/Mojave but seemed to go away with 2020/Catalina. Its not the end of the world but feels funny looking at my files through a letter box. MBP 2016 TB - 2.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 - 16GB RAM UPDATE : I have just noticed the same issue in Numbers (Mac app). So perhaps this is a OS issue.
