Robert Anderson Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Fred, as far as I know, VectorWorks is not yet making use of the Quartz imaging model. I believe one reason we are not yet doing this is to preserve compatibility with Mac OS 9. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 VectorWorks Races Forward with G5 Compatibility Columbia, Maryland (October 15, 2003)? Nemetschek North America announced today the results of the company?s internal speed tests comparing the performance of VectorWorks 10.5 running on Apple Computer?s new Power Mac? G5, the world?s fastest personal computer featuring the first 64-bit desktop processor and the industry?s first 1 GHz front-side bus, versus Apple?s older G4 machines. Sean Flaherty, Chief Technology Officer, Nemetschek North America, stated, "The results of our internal G5 compatibility and speed tests were very impressive. VectorWorks runs dramatically faster on these new machines. Compared to Apple?s dual 1.25Mhz G4 machine, the new single processor G5 1.8 GHz machine (the mid-range G5 model) redraws twice as fast, renders three times as fast and performs solids modeling operations nearly five times faster. For users with older G4 machines, the gains are even more impressive. For example, users running 733 Mhz G4 can expect see an eight fold increase in performance for some solids modeling operations."
