Do any of them have the equivalent of AutoCad's paper space and model space
(how about floating viewports)?
How about individual layer control in each viewport?
External references (like a block insertion but maintains a link to the
other drawing so that updates are automatically transfered) are a necessity
for us
Speed - something similar to AutoCad is my starting point (and no
significant slow down when dealing with 1MB to 2MB files)
I don't think that reading/writing .dwg files is too much of a request so
that we can maximize our existing collection of drawings
Text and dimensioning features equivalent to AutoCad (associative is nice
but not a necessity)
Everything we do is 2d
