Calling all Exhibit Designers or Vectorworks users working in museums and exhibitions.  I have formed a group to share knowledge and support each other as we work in Vectorworks for exhibits.  I am a theatrical designer turned museum exhibit designer and I found that as I shifted focus I also needed to shift how I use Vectorworks.  I didn't find a whole lot out there for our particular niche when I started, so I started a group to help me and hopefully help a whole community of users.  We meet once a month for an hour virtually, you need not attend to gain access to the shared google drive where we are attempting to build and share knowledge.  We are a new group, and still sorting out what if anything we will develop together.  For now I can offer monthly meetings and a list of other users willing and interested in sharing knowledge and supporting each other.  If you would like to be included please email or respond to this post and I will get you on the ever growing list.

Next meeting of the Vectorworks user group is this Friday January 27th at 1pm.  We meet virtually. All Vectorworks users or those curious about using Vectorworks are welcome.   At this weeks meeting we will be planning to talk about Record Formats. Who is using them?  How are record formats being used?  Do we like or dislike them?  What challenges do we have when trying to use record formats?  

Reply to this notice or send me an email to request an invite.  We have users of all levels, expert to novice.
