A: These are the problems we encountered in testing:
 

1.       The Create Animation command may crash Vectorworks.

2.       The Snapping Palette will not maintain its size and shape.

They will be corrected in the upcoming service pack.

Q: Will the Vectorworks 2010 or Vectorworks 2009 versions be patched to be compatible with OSX Lion?

A: We have also tested Vectorworks 2009 and Vectorworks 2010 on OSX Lion. They seem to run however they do encounter the problems mentioned above in testing. Unfortunately it is not possible to issue service packs for Vectorworks 2009 and 2010 versions to address these or any other issues.
