Opening Vectorworks

 

When starting Vectorworks, you may see two pop-up messages before the software opens. These messages are normal.

Message 1: “User Folder Not Found”

What this means

Vectorworks cannot find the folder it uses to store the license information. This is common and does not stop the software from working.

Click Continue. Vectorworks will open and launch the login window.
