For features in products other than Vectorworks Fundamentals, icons indicate the Vectorworks product required to access that functionality. The D icon indicates that it exists in any Design Series product; A indicates Architect; L indicates Landmark; S indicates Spotlight, B indicates Braceworks, and C indicates ConnectCAD. Where documentation does not have an icon, the functionality is available with a Fundamentals license. The Architect product has two workspaces: the Architect workspace familiar to users of Vectorworks 2018 and earlier, and the Architect-BIM workspace, where many of the tools needed for the most common building information modeling operations are collected in a BIM tool set. Both of these workspaces are available with the Architect product (A icon) and contain the same tools and commands. The help system provides the tool set information only for the classic Architect workspace. |

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. |
