Vectorworks software supports high resolution monitors, including Mac Retina® displays. This not only displays crisp, appropriately sized images, but also allows accurate 1:1 scale measurements and line weights to display on screen.
When the Vectorworks application is open across display devices with different resolutions, the following rules apply:
● multiple document windows open on different devices will each display appropriately for the resolution of the screen on which it displays
● documents that span multiple devices display at the resolution appropriate for the screen on which the majority of the document displays
● documents that are mirrored on multiple displays display at the resolution of the lowest-resolution device
On the Mac, to force the software to open in low resolution, for instance to speed up rendering updates while drawing, before opening the Vectorworks application, Ctrl-click on the application icon and select Get Info. Select Open in Low Resolution. This setting persists across sessions until it is changed.
