VECTORWORKS

Vectorworks drafting for Events, Scenery, Millwork, Architecture, Theatre, Film and Fabrication Drawings.

Vectorworks is one of the first CAD programs I used because of its user-friendly format. It’s great for creating 3D designs, presentations, and drafting. As a technical designer, I get a lot of projects that were designed in Vectorworks.  I prefer to start my work with the original  Vectorworks file, so I can see the context of the design. Many times I get a PDF file and a DWG file that were exported from Vectorworks: the DWG file doesn’t look at all like the PDF. Vectorworks. I own  Vectorworks Designer, which includes Spotlight, Architecture, and Landscape. Ironically, my favorite Vectorworks project was using the Landscape workspace. I designed an extensive excavation plan for my barn, located on a hill behind my house at an elevation 35 ft. above the house, which needed a 250 ft. road. Vectorworks was my primary CAD program for many years.
