The Split tool is extremely useful cutting and splitting objects. For example you could use the Split tool to cut a line, a rectangle, a site modifier, or even a viewport.

The Z key is used to temporarily zoom into a part of the drawing. This is the quickest way I can think of to draw in Vectorworks. Of course you could zoom in and out again if you used the scroll wheel on the mouse, but it's not as easy as the snap loupe. This image shows the screen zoomed in with the snap loupe.

When you are drawing multiple click objects like walls, polygons, etc. it is easy to make a mistake. To fix the last click, use the Delete key on the keyboard, it will remove the last click. Keep deleting to back to the start of your object. This works on almost every tool and command.

http://store.archoncad.comI have tried several options over the years, but now I use these settings. I use 30Operations because that way I only get the AutoSave after I have completed 30 things, rather than a time interval (which always seems to come up at the wrong time). I like to save several versions of the old files so I can go back and find a good version of something that I might have changed.
