Nemetschek North America (Columbia, MD) released Service Pack 2 for VectorWorks 2008, which includes VectorWorks Designer, VectorWorks Architect, VectorWorks Landmark, VectorWorks Spotlight, VectorWorks Machine Design, VectorWorks Fundamentals, and RenderWorks.
Service Pack 2 integrates VectorWorks with the Cover Flow and Quick Look technologies in Apple's new Leopard operating system. This allows an image preview of the file and a thumbnail icon preview, which allows users to see the contents of their VectorWorks files as they browse the file system.
The update also improved VectorWorks 2008 functionality in response to early feedback from users: better display of rectangular object orientation in plan rotation and more flexible handling of class visibilities with design layer viewports. Plus, users will find additional content, such as Munsell colors and enhanced plant libraries.
The service pack is available as a downloadable updater, as well as an online update, which is applied automatically when installing from VectorWorks 2008 DVDs. To download, visit Nemetschek North America.
