I'm a minimal user of Vectorworks. But I (usually) love it.
However, it crashes on me with somewhat regularity. Today, I went to open a very basic drawing that includes 3D elements. I opened VW. Double clicked the file in a folder I want to open.
Once opened, I clicked on the #1 to get an iso view then selected Open GL and it instantly crashed. I reopened the program and tried again...again crashed. It doesn't freeze up. It simply, and quickly, just closes the program.
On the 3rd time, I opened the program. Selected the same file from the File>Open menu this time. It opened and I selected #1 and then Open GL. And it worked!
However, now I turned off Open GL and used the number keypad to look at different views. I selected #1, then #2, then #7...and before it changed view to #7 I get the spinning wheel of death. The program is now frozen.
I've experienced the same, or similar, crashing issues with VW2020.
I'm running Big Sur version 11.2.1 on an iMac, 2017 model.
I'm a novice, so please let me know what other information you need to help me solve this issue.
