Clear Print Settings (VW 12 – Macintosh only)
Users running Mac OS 10.4.x may experience a crash when accessing the Print or Page Setup commands, in files that had been opened in earlier version of the OS. This is due to a change that Apple made in OS 10.4 (Tiger) and can only be fixed by either an update to the OS or by the printer manufacture revising their driver (HP have done this for some of their drivers).

If you don't wish to wait for either of these events, we have written a small plug-in that will clear the print settings in the active file, allowing the Page Setup command to be accessed and printing to be resumed normally.

1. Download the plug-in using the link to the right. It should uncompress in the process so that you have a file called "Clear Print Settings....vsm".

2. Place this file into the VectorWorks 12 Plug-ins folder.

3. Use the Workspace Editor to add the file to a convenient menu in your favourite workspace.

To use the Clear Print Settings command, open the file in question and choose the command from the menu. A dialogue will appear asking if you want to clear the print settings for all layers or just design layers.

Make the appropriate choice (All Layers is recommended), then choose Page Setup again to reconfirm your printer settings.
