It's that time of the year again - Vectorworks 2024

Vectorworks 2024 is now out - is there a timescale for when Enscape will work with it (or does it already)?

Many thanks

Phil B

I hope we won’t have to wait couple months like last year to get compatible version.

Thank you both for your inquiry. :slight_smile:

We already actually support Vectorworks 2024 with our latest service pack 3.5.3 which you can acquire here. Since we do not advertise Beta support, this was not noted in the corresponding release thread though, but it’s listed in our requirements.

Of course, should you have any further questions let me know, or in case you experience any crashes or issues in general please make sure to send us a feedback report whenever you like, as that is always the most helpful and quickest way to troubleshoot any problems, which in turn also allows us to reply back as quickly as possible.

Ooooo! Nice work. Yup, on first go at it, all is well. It needed the uninstall/re-install routine on Enscape but once done, the “Third Party” menu item appears beneath “Tools” and the Enscape tool palette can be installed. The icons don’t work well in dark mode, though!

Have only briefly explored it but all otherwise looks okay - thanks for getting this sorted in advance.

@PhilBixby - Yes I got it to work - but only with your tip to uninstall/reinstall routine. Thanks. Otherwise, that step will be missed by most of us as not being intuitive, at least to me.

Just an update on this thread - have just updated to v4. I clearly don’t want to jinx it by saying “everything is fine” but, well - it’s looking pretty good. Updated (AMD) drivers to latest version, installed v4 as administrator and then fired up VW2024 and Enscape. For some reason it changed the settings for my Spacemouse but that was a simple fix (and an excuse to update the driver). The Enscape icons still do NOT work in dark mode which is a shame since VW staged a slow-mo approach to dark mode (on Windows) extended over many versions and consequently all their onscreen stuff works well in both light and dark modes. Not yours, fellas ;o)
