What’s New in Vectorworks 2013
This year, we’ve taken a slightly different approach to the newest version of
Vectorworks software. Don’t worry – as in previous years, we’ve added many
exciting new features and improved existing capabilities to make your workflow
easier; this brochure will be your guide to what’s new in Vectorworks 2013.
Instead of just giving you a rundown of the new features, we’d
also like to share with you some of our thinking behind this release. To put it
simply, the world of design is changing. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is
revolutionizing the AEC industry. Cloud technology is adding freedom and
convenience to the design process. And the competitive economy is increasing the
need to create stunning presentations to win business.
Whether you’re an architect implementing a BIM workflow, a
landscape professional striving for sustainable sites, or an entertainment
designer pushing the limits of innovation in lighting, we know your process as a
designer is evolving.
As your process evolves, the tools you use to realize your
creative visions need to evolve, as well. We understand this, and we’ve worked
throughout the past year to adapt the Vectorworks family of design solutions to
your needs. As you flip through this brochure and try out the new version of the
program, you’ll discover more than 80 improvements along with new commands and
tools, as well as new forms of collaboration to support your design practice.
Thinking of upgrading from Vectorworks 2009, 2010,
or 2011? Not sure what is in it for you? Lost track of how far we’ve evolved?
Since Vectorworks 2009, we’ve implemented over 430 engineered improvements and
new features to make version 2013 the most powerful, flexible, intuitive and
smart tools for designers yet. In addition to the “What’s New for 2013”
information, here’s a list of some of the most important developments from
versions 2010, 2011, and 2013 you are missing, that will greatly improve the
performance of Vectorworks software for you, and boost your overall productivity
in using it:
