Vectorworks 2015 supports high-resolution images/cursors/icons for retina displays.

Vectorworks will automatically use high-res images from the image folder when an image resource is being loaded.

In order for this to work, the high-res images must be:

  • 72dpi
  • Width and height must be exactly twice the size
  • File name suffix: @2x

The Workspace Editor and the Plug-in Manager have been updated to allow for high-res images. When loading images from there, Vectorworks will just ask for the normal image, but it will look for the high-res image as part of the load process. If an image is found with the above criteria, it will be used.
