In my opinion, which may be different than anyone else here, is that I work
like a
system that reads and writes to my Acad files such that they could be used by
Acad
systems or this new system. A seemless process would be best, even if it means
an
auto-started import/export routine.
The features I need are:
1. 2d drafting creation and editing similar to Acad
2. paper space and model space concept
3. external references (in Autocad sense .. is an inserted block that maintains
a
link to the original file ad auto-updates on file opens, prints, etc)
Why? because that is what we're used to :) Also, we do enough of a range of
project
types that I have never seen a industry specific program that was versatile
enough
to do anything else, gracefully handles any kind of non-standard use even
within the
industry it was intended for, or is similar enough to another app to not require
specific, non-transferable knowledge of that particular app.
