Vectorworks

Vectorworks is another more common program originally used only on the Mac operating system. It has advanced into one of the better CAD programs for architecture recomended for this Blog by an Architect. Like ArchiCAD it also has compatibility with Google Earth. Also uses the same publishing format as AutoCAD in .dwf format while the many other programs use .pdf. This program has an enhanced file referencing system that makes simplify large groups of drawings easy to manage.

If I remember correctly, Vectorworks was one of the first programs to use object based modeling, where each object can have data associated with it. Autodesk is just now getting into this in a big way with Revit.
