Hi
Which is the easier of two programs to learn, Vectorworks or AutoCAD, considering Architects in my area use both? |

hey as long as you are inter operable i see no problem for each to have their own preference? are they?
i prefer Rhinoceros or IntelliCAD and i know they are. _________________ The most necessary/useful piece of learning is that which unlearns what is untrue: 'evil'

Well the thing is I have an BA (Hons) in Interior Architecture yet I didnt use much CAD in my designs with the exception of Photoshop - I prefered to do everything by hand.
But CAD is a prerequisite to getting a job in this feild so I have to brush up on my skills with either one of these programs.
My Question: in peoples experience which of the two is easier to pick up from scratch? |

probably autocad, but using one of its intellicad clones(free open source), the commands are the same
once you can master like 16 of the most common commands you can call yourself polished i think. _________________ The most necessary/useful piece of learning is that which unlearns what is untrue: 'evil'
