The way it draws geometrical primitives and treats them as whole objects. The ease of going form 2-d to 3-d in one step. Vector works is best when using it for lighting design as it has built in communication with Lightwright and both softwares work together. The keyboard shortcuts are nice and customizable and the fluidity of converting between AutoCAD and back is so seamless.

Vector works can be used and is used by lots of people who have their own way of using it and it works for them, but I was taught by beta-tester and learned the program the way it was designed and have been teaching to others this way and they are all happy to learn.

There is no app for tablets or smart phones.

The subscription program is great but you no longer get DVDs. For the price at least a USB drive with the software would be sent out, if not a DVD too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to train new people on Vectorworks. I have trained several people at my office, and find that most people can pickup the basics of VW pretty easy. I also think that VW is going the right direction with support. They are active on their forums and very willing to help users out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

File size is sometimes a problem for me. It is not unusual for me to have files 70mbs and bigger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to detail designs down to millimeters and then see the reality take shape just as drawn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
