These features have the potential to provide a very fast and fluid experience if used on capable hardware, or a noticeably slower experience if used on older or incompatible hardware. Graphics cards should support at a minimum OpenGL version 2. In general, the more powerful your graphics card is, the better your Vectorworks experience will be. Medium-sized displays with a native resolution of x or less should be driven by a graphics card with at least1GB of VRAM.
If you want to take full advantage of OpenGL shadows and edges, especially in situations where you have any combination of the following:. We strongly recommend that all users check that their video drivers are current. The majority of display problems reported to our Technical Support department have been traced to older video drivers.
In general, a recent graphics card running the latest drivers is preferable to an old high-end graphics card running outdated drivers. Vision Pro requires a dedicated OpenGL 3. We do not recommend any integrated Intel video chipset. While Vision may run under these environments, we do not support them due to their lack of performance and speed. For the latest information on our graphics card recommendations for Vectorworks , go to the Vectorworks Knowledgebase.
We do not consider remote login environments such as Remote Desktop, Terminal Services and VNC or virtual machine environments such as Parallels and VMware to be appropriate for regular work, so Vectorworks performance in these situations is not of primary concern to us. They may be appropriate for administrative testing or utility purposes, and Vectorworks is fully functional in these environments. You should not expect high performance in these environments, however, especially with interactive screen feedback.
We do support Vectorworks running under Boot Camp on Mac machines. As long as you have appropriate and current drivers for the hardware on your machine, you can expect fast and reliable Vectorworks behavior. Unless there is a known problem with a maintenance release of the operating system, we recommend the latest maintenance release at the time we ship a new release of Vectorworks as a minimum because that is what we test with.
If you have problems with an earlier maintenance release, we will often ask you to update as an initial troubleshooting step. For users who work with large files and complex renderings, we recommend running with at least 8GB of RAM. When RAM runs out, Vectorworks usually continues to function, but is slowed significantly by the need to access the hard drive to provide virtual memory.
Extreme lack of RAM may cause operations to generate errors in cases where given sufficient RAM they would otherwise succeed. Faster hard drives can have a large impact on system performance especially when virtual memory is actively being used.
Faster or slower processor clock speeds have a predictable impact on Vectorworks performance. Hard drive size requirements are driven by the total size of Vectorworks including all content files. You can reduce this size by opting to not install some of the larger Vectorworks content files. The performance of Vectorworks when working on a shared project over the network will depend on the available network bandwidth.
Double click in the Vectorworks Installer icon:. You must fill out these boxes in order to continue. When complete, click Next. Once complete, click Next. Next, you will see the default path for Vectorworks to install to. This should normally not be modified. Click Start. You may be asked to enter a name and password. This is your operating system login name and password, not your Service Select credentials:. During installation, you can click the play icon to watch a video covering the improvements added in Vectorworks Installation may take a few minutes.
You can choose to Launch Vectorworks immediately, as well as to register your product if you have not done so before. Once complete, click Finish. Installation is now complete. It is not mandatory, but feel free to keep a copy of the installer for your records. This installer will be available to download later. Edited September 27, by JimW.
