Hello,
I am out of ideas. My friends are out of suggestions. Hopefully someone reading this may have some insight. As of a few weeks ago, VW 2020 SP6 (580724) started crashing every time I try to open the Plug-in Manager, CMD-Shift-Z, or menu Tools>Plug-ins>Plug-in Manager. Prior to the first crash, VW 2020 worked reliably. I am currently running Mac OS 10.15.7. When I boot under 10.12.6, VW 2020 works as expected, so I am guessing it has something to do with the OS, but that's purely a guess.
Things I have tried:
1) Remove the 2020 User Folder and reboot. VW 2020 rebuilds a new User Folder, but crashes when I try to open the Plug-in Manager.
2) Delete the RM Cache under \Library\Application support\Vectorworks RMCache\rm2020. Same result after computer reboot, crash on opening Plug-in Manager.
3) Ran Uninstall.app in the VW 2020 folder then copied VW 2020 SP6 from a backup drive to the Applications folder. Same result, crash on opening Plug-in Manager.
4) Copy VW 2020 SP5 from a backup drive to the Applications folder. Same result, crash on opening Plug-in Manager.
5) Reboot under OS 10.12.6. VW 2020 SP6 works as expected.
Note – VW 2019 (and earlier), VW 2021, and VW 2022 still working just fine. I updated the OS from 10.14.x to 10.15.x on 20 Jul 2021. Everything was working in VW 2020 until mid November, and I have no idea what happened.

Any advice welcome.
