VectorWorks Updates Its CD-ROM Based Training, and Introduces New AutoCAD Transition CD
Columbia, Maryland (April 27, 2004)— In keeping with its commitment to provide its users with the most current training material, Nemetschek North America, in conjunction with its training partner, Resolve Software Solutions, announced today the availability of its VectorWorks 11 CD-ROM based training curriculum. The series provides new and existing users the information they need to be successful in learning to draw with VectorWorks. In addition, the updated curriculum introduces a new CD to help AutoCAD® users migrate from AutoCAD to VectorWorks.
Geoff McBeath of Resolve Software Solutions stated, "We're excited about the new features in VectorWorks 11, and our team has been hard at work preparing clear, concise, and contextual training examples that explain the new functionality. These CDs are a great option for new users, as well as for those who are familiar with VectorWorks, but want to learn more about its capabilities."
Each CD contains all new examples and exercises, along with an in-depth explanation of features that are new in VectorWorks 11, as well as increased coverage of existing features. The training CDs have an improved interface that makes it easy to switch between the CD and VectorWorks, which allows the user to try things out while watching the training. Furthermore, the newest CD, the Foundation One for AutoCAD users puts the explanations in a special context for VectorWorks users that are accustomed to using AutoCAD.
"Our AutoCAD transition CD gives trained AutoCAD users a way to easily migrate to VectorWorks 11, and also provides VectorWorks firms with an easy way to train employees who have AutoCAD experience. The CD outlines the differences, as well as the similarities between the two programs. The user response has been very positive. Most are surprised at how easy it is to make the switch to VectorWorks," says Dan Monaghan, Director of Marketing, Nemetschek North America.
