You can select the type and amount of data collected, and change this setting at any time, from the Vectorworks preferences: Session pane in the Vectorworks application. If you opt not to download this content when you install Vectorworks, it can be added later (see Installing Vectorworks libraries locally).Īnother option allows Vectorworks to collect usage data for software improvement. The installation process includes an option to add content to your copy of Vectorworks products, including industry-specific content libraries that can be added to drawings through the Resource Manager (see Concept: Resource libraries). Allowable products are determined by your serial number, and a License Description File (LDF) which is installed in your User folder. The installation program installs the entire Vectorworks suite of programs. It is possible to install Vectorworks if the computer is not connected to the internet, by following the instructions in the installer, but the process is more complicated. To ensure a smooth installation, confirm that system requirements are met, take note of any issues or incompatibilities, and make sure the computer is connected to the internet prior to installing the software. The Vectorworks installation program lists the installation system requirements, any known installation issues, and any information that changed in the software after final online help was produced.
