Seeking the industry views on the CAD programs available (I have also posted a similar query under the post “Vector Works”).
I teach the technology units for landscape architecture at University of Canberra and we are seeing a number of students self teaching a number of programs over the standard suite used at the University.
Does proficiency in one cad program (eg AutoCad) give a good graduate enough skills to self learn another programs such as vector works? All advice from practices appreciated, hear from you soon.

Call for assistance from a SA Member
Has any Landscape Architect out there used or is using the program Vectorworks - Landmark?
I am researching the pros and cons of this program in comparison to Autocad for a student group of mine, and since I have never used Vectorworks - Landmark, I’m in need of some info and recommendations from those who have or do presently.
If you are able to answer any of these queries - please respond:
Do you find it as an effective tool as Autocad for detailed drafting? (explain)
Does it have the capabilities to produce graphically attractive drawings that are comparable to photoshop or illustrator? (explain)
Can drawings from Vectorworks be imported into photoshop or illustrator?
What are the advantages of using Vectorworks?
What are the disadvantages in comparison to the above mentioned programs?
Is Vectorworks easy to learn?
Is it well technically supported by suppliers?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me, it’s really appreciated.
