DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

Moving from AutoCAD to Vectorworks is the best thing I’ve done for my pre-production in my 20-year career as a production rigger, TD, stage manager, and designer. It has enhanced my marketable drafting skills beyond expectations.

We can get out proposals with 3D renderings in 90 minutes as opposed to the two days it would take us with AutoCAD.

Alex Rose, AV Matters

Vectorworks Spotlight has really become the industry standard. I can bring Vectorworks Spotlight to my work and create something unique, special, and something that transports an audience.
