Vectorworks® Fundamentals 2012 - Offering so much more

The 3D features added or enhanced in Vectorworks 2012 include automatic working planes, a user-friendly and time saving Instant Push Pull mode for the planar tool set, and 3D dimensions that can take advantage of 3D working planes, making it even easier to place constrained, angular and radial dimensions that clearly reference your 3D scene.

And speaking of 3D tools, the classic Vectorworks reshape tool now is a consolidated 2D and 3D tool – no need to switch tools from a 2D tool to a 3D tool, if you are just wanting to do the ‘same thing’. Multiple vertices of NURBs Curves can now be reshaped with one drag.

Efficient collaboration means you need to have efficient communication – Vectorworks 2012 has increased DXF/DWG support, and better support for many more Vectorworks features. Now you can choose what you want to export to DWG/DXF, including Hatches. And Clipped AutoCAD blocks can be imported in a number of ways – both with and without cropping!

There are MANY new and improved features in Vectorworks Fundamentals 2012!
