![]() ![]() We still have people with 10 on our machines because theres a similar problem of upgrading files from 10 to 11. Oh, we have v12.5 (also not architect) but nobody uses it because whenever you try to pull an old file into 12 from 11, the program screws everything up. Architect might help, but the well is posioned at this point and when we switch, there will be no tears shed. I am using VW 11 - just 11, no architect, no add-ons, no nothing. It is annoying at first to be so mouse-dependent, but you get past that pretty quickly. They are both intuitive in the same way, and share many of the same task structures. ![]() and you don't have to muck around changing colors or setting up layer managers or whatever - you just turn it to gray and you're done!)Īctually VW is in many ways like Sketchup (or, vice versa, I should say). The ability to turn your background drawing into gray if you want (VERY handy for Furniture Plans, RCPs, etc. GROUPS (HOORAY!!!! God i miss these, they make drawings SO MUCH EASIER) Two quick things VW has over autocad, that we haven't mentioned yet : in VW, everything is scaled automatically to whatever scale you set it to, voila! (And why shouldn't it be?! IT'S A COMPUTER, it's MADE to do conversion fractions automatically!!!) ![]() For example I spent a good chunk of today just messing around trying to get my xref'ed linetypes to read correctly on my scaled paperspace sheets-I had to run testplots and everything. Once you've done it a simpler, easier way it is way hard to go back to autocad. Yes the whole paperspace / xref bullshit drives me nuts. i tried the white background for about 2 seconds until i lost all the yellow and white lines. and autocad does nothing if not rope you into getting stuck doing the same conservative action for years! you know how it goes. Because it was all originally set up for colors on a black background, way back when. Yeah, I would do that, except that then I can't see the office layer colors that we have to draw in. ![]()
