Thank you all for you input.  It has helped me make a decision.  

Kathy,
Did you get enough to form an opinion on your original question?

Please bring me up to date on what you needed then and what you need now. Please do it via this address: eflaherty at mac dot com. Thank you and kind regards.

Hi Edward, yes I am!

Acad Lt is $et up so that NO add ons can be u$ed.
FX Cad was very similar to Acad Lt when I last test drove it. I just wanted to point out that there is more than one component that you have to purchase and not to get fooled by the single price of FX CAD ($1,595). You still have to buy Land FX ($1,295) as well, it seems. I’m not going to shell out…[Read more]

Andrew, I believe that FX CAD is basically Autocad LT, but you are right there is a cost associated with it.  I’m not sure why you can just use the LandFX add on with Autocad LT but i am sure there are some kind of proprietary features that prevent it from happening.  A couple of times a year LandFX does offer some pretty good sale incentives w…[Read more]

Great response. I worked in two different civil engineering/land survey offices doing civil plans for twelve years. There are sometimes some issues with non-native dwg files when they are received by the CE’s.
I looked at FX CAD and Land FX using Intellicad. I liked the landscape specific things in the programs, but I am so used to working with…[Read more]

I am not sure what your background is when it comes to using any kind of CAD software, but before you purchase you might consider the following:
1.  If you are new to using CAD software Vectorworks Landmark might be the way to go.  I own the software and it has a lot of capabilities a lot of software programs do not.  
2. If you have worked in Au…[Read more]

I’m located in the Pacific NW of the US – nowhere near Australia.  However, I do appeciate your comments.  

I can’t really make too much of a comparison as until your post I had not heard of LandworksCAD. In my brief review I did notice that it did seem to be a little weak in the 3D features. Landmark has a vast library of 3D objects and tools, walls, stairs, landscape walls and much more.

Depending on your workflow and your clients it would appear…[Read more]

Wallpaper and Metropolis; maybe select copies of LAM or Arch Record.  I really liked A+U (from Japan) as well, but pricey.

Just want to give this a Bump since the last post were in 2012….. I am looking to taking the Florida Exam  in the beginning of 2016. Any Advice on what to study?

It sounds like your printing volume is similar to mine for both bw and color. Thanks again for sharing Andrew.

I sat in on a presentation for this product earlier this year. From what I understand they can finish the wood to look like tropical wood. It’s preserved with a non-toxic vinegar solution and is supposed to last a good while even when used in contact with soil. I haven’t had the opportunity to use yet, but I’m curious to see how it performs. Check…[Read more]
