"Vectorworks Essentials is fabulous in many ways," says Jan Latham, a CAD tutor at Waikato Institute of Technology (Wintek) in New Zealand. "I have not taught before ... and the manual is working out great as it breaks all the processes down into easy to follow steps. It has jogged my memory on how to do things in other ways and is already organized into a logical progression, so I can work through it chapter by chapter, building on the student's knowledge."
