...the VectorFest event was valuable in that you could learn aspects of the program not featured in this way -- such as the new process/method for dealing with Autocad files.
VectorWorks users will be delighted in how they can manage the use of Autocad files via what the company called a "shuttle file" and an externally referenced viewport process.
Could someone provide some details on what VW2008 has changed with how it deals with ACAD files? What is this "shuttle file" and the "externally referenced viewport process" ?
Is this 'new DWG workflow' something that is in VW Fundamental, or is this limited only to the Design series?
And if this new DWG functionality is something VW users would be 'delighted' with, why is NNA not providing more detail on this feature in the VW2008 marketing?
Making the DWG roundtrip workflow as easy & data-lossless as possible is something that is very important (at least to me) since as VW users we almost always have to deal with consultants who rely on DWG compatibilty.
