How Do I Update My Vectorworks?

Updating your Vectorworks software is important to access the latest features, improvements, and bug fixes. You can check for and obtain updates using a couple of methods directly within the application.

Here's how to update your Vectorworks based on the available options:

Manually Check for Updates

You can initiate a check for available updates at any time through the Vectorworks application menu.

To check for updates manually:

1. Open Vectorworks.
2. Go to the Help menu.
3. Select About Vectorworks.
4. In the About Vectorworks dialog box that appears, click the Check for Updates button.

Vectorworks will then check for any available updates and guide you through the installation process if one is found.

Set Up Automatic Update Checks

For convenience, you can configure Vectorworks to automatically check for updates periodically.

To set up automatic update checks:

1. Go to your Vectorworks preferences.
2. Navigate to the Session pane.
3. Select the option to Automatically check for updates on either a weekly or monthly basis.

Enabling this preference means Vectorworks will notify you when updates are available, ensuring you stay current without needing to remember to check manually.

Both of these methods are available options within the Vectorworks software to help you manage updates effectively.
