LA-BLINK  I have been using Vectorworks for about ten years and would not use any other. Nemetscheck has consistently listened to users and improved the software where it is most useful to daily applications as well provide many additional features for fun and customization.

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.
