Subject: CAD Comparisons
1. An in-depth comparison between DataCAD and Archicad was conducted by our local University during their assessment of the two packages last year. DataCAD came out on top (of course!), and has remained their choice of package taught to Architects and Interior Designers (Degree students), whereas Archicad was seen to be more appropriate for home builders and the spec. building market, and is taught to TAFE students.
2. I'm busy with submissions at present so if you can wait a week or two I'll see if I can E-mail you a copy of the comparisons. regards Mark Bell Peddle Thorp NT Architects Darwin, NT
