![]() I also run Vectorworks SP on my MacBook Pro. I'm on a 27" iMac running Catalina Ver 10.15.6 and Vectorworks SP 2020. I just got off the phone with sales at Vectorworks. I hope it will help anyone trying to test VW2020 with the new Apple Hardware CPU chip. This is my first day with the HW/SW combination - will report any further issues. So far, I ran 2D features with a few VW existing files, and have not found any problems. The first real bug relates to the SIGN IN to Selective Service (Top Right "SIGN IN" on the main window) - the app crashes when attempting to sign in. Selecting OK gets rid of the msg and the VW finally loads.ģ. The second error message states that the "VISION Library" can't be loaded. It first requires me to re-enter the VW License info, even if the info was provided during the installation process.Ģ. The process is slow, but worked.īack to the MacMini with Big Sur. When asked where to install the software, I selected my new Apple Transition Kit (MacMini) that was previously authorized on my home network. The installer is then started on the laptop. To circumvent this issue, a copy of VW2020 SP5 was downloaded on a laptop loaded with a previous version of MacOS (any MacOS prior to Big Sur works) and VW2020 SP5 download file. The same problem was experienced with SP4 of VW2020 on the same platform. Upon starting the installer on the new platform, a blank windows appears where it should ask if you want to QUIT or CONTINUE. ![]() ![]() I would like to share my experience testing Vectorworks 2020 with MacOS Big Sur, specifically with an Apple Computer fitted with the new Apple CPU chip (Apple MacMini Transition Kit).įirst, the VW2020 SP5 installer is broken if one tries to download the VW2020 SP5 directly to this new hardware configuration. ![]() My NSHO based on 30 years of losing and recovering data. In the past I would say you even needed to backup the hardware you are running, but now it is probably reasonable to just create a virtual machine running an appropriate version of the OS and VW. You need to use something like Arq, Backblaze, or a similar backup system, preferably one that does multiple historic versions of files to truly have a backup.Īnd if you want things to truly be backed up for the long time, you need to backup not only the data, but also the running application. If something happens to your local copy, then the sync'd copy will end up with the same corruption very quickly. So being on your hard drive (probably SSD now), and on an external drive (flash or HDD/SSD), and being somewhere in the cloud would meet the criteria.īut with all the syncing services (Dropbox, iCould Drive, OneDrive), I don't count those as a cloud backup. Preferably significantly distant locations. And remember that NOTHING is truly backed up until it is on at least three different types of media in at least two geographically separate locations. ![]()
