MAC OSX “LION” vs. LIGHTWRIGHT 3 and 4

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VECTORWORKS SPOTLIGHT 2011?

Using a character such as ƒ in a filename or folder name will prevent Vectorworks from doing a “full export on exit”. Similarly, if the .vwx file isn’t on the same hard drive with the Vectorworks application, VW will fail to do a “full export on exit”. For complete information on this problem and other things that can break Data Exchange, click here.

LIGHTWRIGHT® Touch for the iPad

West Side Systems has released this new “companion” app that lets you edit Lightwright worksheet information on your iPad, then merge the changes back into the desktop version of Lightwright.
