0 bjoerka Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 and sad to mention that this bug is still available in vw2022... Quote Link to comment
0 bjoerka Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 I´ll bring this up again... Bug still present in SP1 of Vectorworks 2022 Why doesn´t anybody from the VW team react to such an easy to replicate bug? Quote Link to comment
0 Jberres Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 @bjoerka Having the same issue SP1 VW 2022. Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee JustinH Posted October 13, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 13, 2021 I can't reproduce the crash. Maybe you can attach a video so I can try following your steps more precisely. This is what I see: 2021-10-13 15-13-41.mp4 Quote Link to comment
0 michaelk Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 @JustinH Try it with a spotlight lighting device. I get an instant crash. Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee JustinH Posted October 13, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 13, 2021 hm.. no luck crashing with Lighting Device: must be some other contributing factor.. could be a document/Vectorworks preference maybe. I'll ask around to see if anyone else can crash 2021-10-13 15-38-34.mp4 Quote Link to comment

0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee JustinH Posted October 13, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 13, 2021 QA helped me locate the bug ticket that describes the crash you discovered https://jira.vectorworks.net/browse/VB-181752 Looks like the crash was macOS specific-- that's why I wasn't duplicating it. The bug was fixed last month and has been verified fixed in VW2022 SP2. I'll double check that it's been fixed and report back 2 Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee JustinH Posted October 13, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 13, 2021 I just verified the crash has been fixed testing one build before the fix and one after: VW2022 SP2 build 614210 -- has crash VW2022 SP2 build 615870 -- no crash Looks like SP2 becomes publicly available in just over 1 month 3 Quote Link to comment

Red Warning in status bar : "created Light is not visible" VW 2021 SP4 M1 Mac Mini macOS 12 Monterey Public Beta sounds like you have Vectorworks Preferences -> Display -> Display Light Objects option set to Never. Change it to Always as shown here: 1 Quote Link to comment

You are totally right ! I did clean settings from scratch with VW 2022 Upgrade, and forgot that setting. It was set to "Wireframe only" ! Thanks for that.

0 Greg Miller Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Still happening to me every time: VW2022 SP2 build 619242 MacOS 11.6 iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017); 3.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5; 40 GB 2400 MHz DDR4; Radeon Pro 580 8 GB Seems to be tied to adjusting the brightness. Adding the light works fine. I will try updating VW again to make sure I have latest. But that build should still have the fix from previous builds. Quote Link to comment
0 bjoerka Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 hm - i have build 622317 - and there it doesn´t crash anymore. this is sp2 of vectorworks 2022 in vectorworks 2021 - sp5 - it still crashes immediately Quote Link to comment
