For features in products other than Vectorworks Fundamentals, icons indicate the Vectorworks product. The D icon indicates that it exists in any Design Series product; A indicates Architect; L indicates Landmark; S indicates Spotlight, and B indicates Braceworks. Where documentation does not have an icon, the functionality is available with a Fundamentals license. As an example, for the S icon, you must have Vectorworks Spotlight (or Designer) to use the function. |

Enter (Windows)/return (Mac) and Backspace (Windows)/delete (Mac) |
To reduce unnecessary wordiness, both operating system terms will not be used; we have standardized upon “Enter” and “Backspace.” The meaning should be evident for users of either operating system. |
