PeterT Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I am a bit confused as to the features included with the base VectorWorks 2008 Fundamentals package as described in the Fundamentals/"New in 2008" pages on the website. Comparing the New in Fundamentals pages head to head with the "VectorWorks 2008 Feature Matrix" yields many descrepancies. There are many features shown in the matrix to come only with Architect and not with Fundamentals that are described in the Fundamentals new features list. The ones I am curious about are as follows: Save Stacked Layer View IFC Import/Export New Support for Bookmarks in PDFs Refined Create Spaces from Walls Command Space Object Improvments Herman Miller Furniture Collection New Furnishings and Scenic Elements Library New Sub Zero and Wolf Appliance Libraries Updated Forbo Flooring Materials New Wood Texture and Image Fills from arcitex Are these really new features to Fundamentals 2008 or do they only come with Architect as the Matrix implies? One of these two documents must be wrong. Also, Improved Library Managment is shown in the Matrix to come with Fundamentals, but there is no description of it in the New Features list. A little clarification please Nemetschek. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted September 14, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 14, 2007 PeterT, I'm pretty sure that everything you listed is in Architect or Designer only. (I'm not sure about the PDF bookmark thing.) R. Quote Link to comment
PeterT Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Thanks, It appears that someone has corrected the Usabilty section of the Fundamentals New Features list, but there are still descrepancies on the on the Objects section of the PDF, and there are a few other items listed or not listed incorrectly on either the Martix or the New Features Lists. I realize it is only one day after the product release, so I guess I will just wait a few weeks before I print out any more literature on the new features, and let the documentation get cleared up.

acepernich Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I had sent in this as a question, where specified on the web site, and the Matrix has now been corrected. (Sorry for post in 2 places) Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee JPowell Posted September 17, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 17, 2007 The PDF matrix has been updated, and the features listed on each product page have also been fixed. Quote Link to comment
