Here is an update for the
- Units - mm
- Units - cm
- Units - m
These commands will work in VectorWorks 12 only.
Nemetschek North America recommends not to use VectorWorks up to version 12.0.1 on Intel Macs. IntelMacs will be supported in later versions.
Running VW 12.0.x on an Intel based Macintosh machine can lead to slow performance, unexpected drawing results and even crashes.
If you're in need to apply an additional cut-out to a unit side or back, you can of course switch off the part in the unit and replace it with an extrude.
There's a further way you'll find useful:
- Edit the unit symbol
- Convert the part to be edited to a mesh
- Do a 3D subtraction ("subtract solids") with an extrude representing the cut-out
- Exit symbol
Important: Don't edit the unit afterwards, otherwise the parts will be recreated and your edits will be lost.
Nemetschek North America clearly states that more RAM than 1GB drastically increases the smoothness of VectorWorks 12. This is valid for Windows driven machines as well as for Macintosh machines.
Users will feel very comfortable with 2GB of RAM. The performance boost can be seen during application startup, zooming, panning and - of course - rendering.
The minimal system requirements are as follows:
- Macintosh:
- Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later
- QuickTime 6 or later
- PowerPC G3 or later
- 512 MB RAM, better 1024 MB
- Windows:
- Windows 2000 SP4 or better, Windows XP
- QuickTime 6.5.1 up to 7.0.2
- Pentium or better
- 512 MB RAM, better 1024 MB
