fdb Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Hi All, On Vw Mac, Since a week now, the window that give you the possibility to save as a new file is incredibly long and is not possible to adjust it as always. Can someone please help. See screenshot below! Thanks F. Quote Link to comment
Administrator JuanP Posted November 17, 2021 Administrator Share Posted November 17, 2021 @fdb This is a known issue with Vectorworks 2021 and the new macOS Monterey - IF this is your setup, we will be releasing a new Service Pack at the end of November that will address this issue. 2 Quote Link to comment
fdb Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 Thanks, yes I'm currently using VW 2021 with OSMonterey. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 In VW 2022 this is already fixed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorhead Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Is it my imagination or does the finder window keep getting wider the more it is used!! VW 2021, OSMonterey & M1 Mac Quote Link to comment

VW 2021, OSMonterey & M1 Mac Yes, still .... AFAIK it was no more problem in VW 2022 since SP0 or SP 1 release already. There was an improvement in a VW 2021 SP too (It looked like VW 2021 would now use the updated VW 2022 open dialog sizes) But it was still not possible to horizontally adjust the VW 2021 Open Dialogs. (Before VW 2022 release, my VW 2021 Open Dialogs felt like have grown over time to about 12 times my screen width. After VW 2022 and resizing I was at least able to use my VW 2021 Open Dialogs again without infinity scrolling) Edited November 23, 2021 by zoomer Quote Link to comment
Vectorhead Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Zoomer, I spoke to soon on 2021 the "Save as" finder resizes and works for me but the "Open" finder is still extremely wide and doesn't resize. Quote Link to comment

The main VW Monterey Bug was that VW 2021 Open/Import/.... Finder Windows a) where not resizable horizontally b) somehow grew in width over time .... It worked with new VW 2022 SP0 or 1. Until this time, my VW 2021 Finder Dialog Windows already have grown to sizes of multiple screen widths. AFAIK VW 2022 also started with my previous, enormous Finder Open Windows. But I was finally able to a) resize them horizontally again and b) they did no more accidentally grow in width. When going back to VW 2021 after a new SP, it looked like VW 2021 now uses the resized VW 2022 Finder Dialogs now. So they were usable again but still not resizable in VW 2021. So for me it looks like all VW installations use the same common File for settings like Finder Open Dialog Width/Resizing. So until VW 2021 has a fix by an SP, you would need to install VW 2022 to be able to resize your VW 2021 Open Windows 🙂 Edited November 24, 2021 by zoomer Quote Link to comment
JAV Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I am still running VW 2020 and also have this issue with ever growing ‘save as window’. Also running Monterey. Any fixes? 1 Quote Link to comment

Similar 3D or CAD Apps, even with much older Versions, worked still fine after Monterey switch for me. Edited February 11, 2022 by zoomer Quote Link to comment
jdroadie Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 yep silly, I'd imagine the fix is reasonable. As spotlight user in Entertainment industry, money for upgrades has been scarce since the covid thing. Help on this would be hugely appreciated. If we install a trial of 22 would that help?

lzylberman Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Any perspective on solving this issue? And more, any possibility to solve for older VWX versions, such as 2020? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Unlikely to be fixed for older versions. VW2020 is not compatible with OS12. Quote Link to comment
lzylberman Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Hi Pat, thanks. I am using VWX2020 with OSX12 and everything is up and running fine so far. The only strange behaviour is this ultrawide window. Should I expect for more bugs? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 It is quite possible that there are other incompatibilities, so I would be careful. Quote Link to comment
