Excerpt: Vectorworks is a computer-aided design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) software program developed by Nemetschek Vectorworks that is used for drafting, technical drawing and 3D modeling. Vectorworks offers 2D, 3D, production management, and presentation capabilities for all phases of the design process. Vectorworks was previously known as MiniCAD. It was originally developed on Mac OS. It was developed by Diehl Graphsoft, now Nemetscheck Vectorworks. Alongside MiniCAD, Diehl Graphsoft also released a 2D CAD program for the Mac targeted toward architects called Blueprint. The version numbers went up to 12 and are numbered from 2008 and on by the year (i.e. currently 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011). The data files used the MCD extension (from MiniCAD) until version 12. VectorWorks 2008 and onwards use the VWX extension. KiCad is an open source software suite for electronic design automation (EDA) - designing schematics of electronic circuits and printed circuit boards (PCB). KiCad is ...
