![]() ![]() The fact I’ve been using it since December and only now almost five months later I feel in a position to contemplate this review should give you some idea of just how big a task it is to learn. The first thing to say is that an application such as Vectorworks isn’t for the faint of heart, the sheer size and amount of features means that getting to grips with it is a monumental task. Instead I’ll focus on what’s new and my experiences with it as a new user. It would be fair to say that a thorough review of all the aspects of a package as comprehensive as Vectorworks would require thousands of words and is something I simply couldn’t do full justice to. However, as long as you have Vectorworks Spotlight 2010 with Renderworks, then everything in this review is applicable to that version. The Designer edition includes all the various tools and is actually the edition that I’m reviewing here. Vectorworks is actually a whole suite of CAD products which includes Architect, Landmark, Machine Design, Renderworks and of course Spotlight. This is one of the things that really impressed me as a user, if I wanted to do something specific it was nearly always a simple job to get it done. Since then it has grown to become one of the most popular programs for creating set and lighting designs.įrom very early stages Spotlight has been developed in conjunction with experts in the theatre industry to make sure the features and functionality are exactly those you expect and need. To begin with Vectorworks was a fairly generic CAD program but in 2001 Nemetschek added the Spotlight package. So, Vectorworks certainly has maturity on its side and years of continual improvements. ![]() The first official version of Vectorworks was actually called Vectorworks 8, before then it existed under the name MiniCAD which originated on the Mac way back in 1985. Vectorworks is a CAD (Computer Aided Design) package that started life many years ago. I’m sure the majority of people reading this will have used earlier versions and I’m sorry that I can’t draw comparisons for you.įor those of you who don’t even know what Vectorworks is, perhaps a quick summary is required before going any further. Before I begin this review I should point out that I am new to Vectorworks, I have had no prior experience with previous versions and the only real exposure I’ve had to it are the paper designs that other designers have created.
