Cadplan Architecture Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I've moved from VWA 2016 to VWA 2021 and when closing drawings down a fuzzy blue screen placeholder more or less fills the screen. It's quite annoying as you then have to click to minimise it. Is this an 'improvement' that Vectorworks has introduced and is there a way not to have it? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 In the Window menu uncheck "Application Window". The Application Window consolidates multiple open drawings into a single tabbed interface so that your drawings and palettes move together as a single object. I really like working that way. It is different than the older (but still available) multiple windows but works better for me. Quote Link to comment
Cadplan Architecture Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Yes it's handy to be able to toggle between different drawings that are open, but it's a pain to have a placeholder hanging around when there are not any drawings open. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Command-H will hide Vectorworks. You can get it back by selecting it from the dock. Or click the yellow button at the top left to minimize the "placeholder" into the dock until you need it. Quote Link to comment
Cadplan Architecture Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 True that Command H hides it, I can live with that, I just would have preferred to to have that extra click to make every time! Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Better one extra click to hide everything of VW rather than having 6 to 10 palettes hanging around. ;-) Quote Link to comment
RGyori Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I have command H programmed to a key on my Kensington Expert Trackball... use it to deal with several application that have a persistent screen presence. Quote Link to comment
