downloading resources and write access

[mattryan]

Good morning, I seem to be having this problem accessing resource libraries on one of my stations.

I get the attached error message. I am working on a M1 Mac mini. 

Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?

 

Thank you!

Hi Matt,

 

I've had this issue previously. You need to have read/write permissions for the vectorworks application folder (which contains all libraries etc.) on your system.

 

Easiest solution I found was to go to your application folder > right click on folder e.g. "Vectorworks 2022" > Get Info > amend "sharing & permissions" so that your user account or admin (assuming you have admin rights) can both read and write.

 

 

sidenote: you also need these permissions set if you want to be able to manage door hardware sets etc.

Thanks Duncan I will give that a try!
