Vectorworks Fundamentals 2018

Buy Vectorworks Fundamentals from CAD Software Direct - official UK Reseller

Vectorworks Fundamentals is the entry level Vectorworks product. Like all Vectorworks products, it's easy to use and has an easier interface than many traditional CAD applications. Vectorworks Fundamentals includes all core modelling functionality from the Vectorworks series of products. Vectorworks Fundamentals does not include any sector-based tools. If you're looking for time-saving, industry specific tools you may wish to consider Vectorworks Architect, Vectorworks Spotlight, Vectorworks Landmark or Vectorworks Designer (which includes all features).

Vectorworks Fundamentals 2018 is ideal for users wishing to create both technical 2D and visually accurate 3D drawings. For greater productivity gains, we recommend one of the designer series (Architect, Spotlight or Landmark) products which includes additional tools, object libraries and the rather useful 'Navigation' palette and PDF export.
