VectorWorks 9/VectorWorks Architect 9 (1.0.1 to 9?)/Renderworks 9 Package

After over two years of waiting for the new VectorWorks 9 and being told last Monday when I ordered it that it would be ready on Wednesday to ship and that I would receive it this past Friday, I found out that it ain't so!

When I called to check on its arrival on Friday, I was told that it was on back order and that it would not ship for at least a week. I called on the first day it was available and it's sold out already? I gather that it is not really sold out-just not ready to go! If it is not ready to go, why did Nemetschek say that it would be delivered on Friday. I was really looking forward to receiving it and hopefully having a program that is a lot less buggy than VW8.5.2 and with a lot more features.

I believe that Nemetschek should honor their commitment and at least send VW9 & RW9 for now and then VWArchitect9(?) when it is ready to ship and do so at the same upgrade/package price.

Let us all let Nemetschek know this is what they should do. Otherwise, who knows how long we will have to wait!

I whole-heartedly agree. I have recently purchased an upgrade (I'm a Mac guy) plus a new Windows site license for VW Architect for a new employee. The program was to ship last Friday. Now I hear that it won't be til 1st or 2nd week of April. I hope the learning curve will be real short because my deadline hasen't changed. The demo doesn't help much. A full working program would be much better even if it is only VW9.

For what its worth, I've had the exact same experience. However, I'm beginning to catch on. I listen to what they say, but no longer hold my breath. I figure that we'll get it by Halloween.
