Bottom line, VectorWorks v.2011 represents the best value for CAD software, and several nationally-known design firms use it.

• Still no X fence type unless you buy the French version.
• Detail callouts not included even with Arch package.
These are basic drafting elements from decades ago. Other gripes:
• Design/Sheet viewport system is awful.
• BIM is an afterthought implementation. I expect "LEED" tools to be the next crap package.
• IFC export is not up to par.
• Does not make use of current MacOS technologies
• GUI is a miss-mash of odd fonts and windowing elements.
Despite all of these tragedies, it's still far more productive for simple 2D drawing than AutoCAD, Arris, etc etc.
LA-BLINK reviewed on 28 Aug 2008
I understand that the next release will include a partnering with a 'well known' 3D software company which is the other area where VW still needs some improvement, but nonetheless they still receive an A+. I am an architect...
For those who are not aware, the walls in Vectorworks are both 2D and 3D with plug-in parametric objects like windows and doors. THis means that they can be manipulated in 3D with an Object Informaiton Window.
Highly recommended.
Cpmpared to Atocad, the ONLY advantage ACAD has is the ability for several people to work on the same file seamlessly. VW can do this though not as well.
