Version Information
Vectorworks 2019 is a Unicode application. Internally, Vectorworks uses UTF-16. To provide easier transition of Vector Scripts, the script engine uses UTF-8 Encoding.
Similarly to Vectorworks 2018, all sources files for Vector Script should be in UTF-8 text file encoding with or without BOM (Byte Order Mark).
In contract to previous version, Vector Script STRING type size was increased from 255 to 2048 bytes, which translates to a different maximum number of characters, depending on the symbols used as in UTF-8 some symbols can be represented by 4 bytes (for example)
