VectorWorks 12 Now Shipping with New Training Materials

Columbia, Maryland (October 31, 2005)—Nemetschek North America announced today that it is shipping VectorWorks 12 with two new training resources, the VectorWorks 12 Upgrade Companion and the VectorWorks Core Concepts training CD.

The VectorWorks 12 Upgrade Companion ships for free with all upgrade orders. Designed to give existing VectorWorks users a jump start into VectorWorks 12, this convenient CD provides detailed explanations and illustrations of the new capabilities in version 12. Advanced features are explained in detail with narrated animations and instructions on how to integrate them into existing workflows. Plus, all topics are linked to the VectorWorks 12 online help system for added explanation.

The VectorWorks Core Concepts training CD ships for free with all new orders. It is designed to help users who are unfamiliar with VectorWorks (or are new to CAD) get up and running quickly. It introduces the VectorWorks drawing environment to users. The CD reviews basic drawing and modeling techniques. It provides users with an overview of VectorWorks database/worksheet and scripting capabilities. The CD also explains core concepts, such as printing and import/export options, as well as ways to find additional help.

"Increasing usability was a key goal for VectorWorks 12. These new training materials, combined with the VectorWorks 12 interface and workflow improvements, will make it easy for existing VectorWorks users to migrate to version 12 and will dramatically shorten the learning curve for new users," says Dan Monaghan, Director of Marketing, Nemetschek North America.
