P.S. ARRIS did not have 'live' text on screen. Bad idea.
ARRIS is DEFINITELY slower than ACAD on comparable hardware, although its
features might make the drawing time faster for Architect.
I couldn't drive it home to take my baby out on Saturday night, either.

Well. thanks for the input. Some of the things you highlighted (layers for
instance), are ACAD enhancements and is something well worth our thinking
about. I don't think it fits in well with freeze as Raymond suggested, but
maybe a new category. Anyway, we are well aware of features in ARRIS which
are lacking in AEC and ACAD but I'm glad you didn't see anything worth
switching for yet.
As for seeing AEC 2.0/9.0 (which takes advantage of 3dfaces for
elevations/sections/roofs) it will be available momentarily. Look here for
update info. You should contact your dealer for a demo, or you can see it a
AutoCAD EXPO, or AIA within the next few weeks.
Your requests have been given to the keeper of the wishlist.

All much appreciated. I have my own reasons for wishing ACAD/AEC to be the
best. Please see my messages to Dave Sly, #21929 & 21931.
I think I can safely say that, of all the packages I have seen, if ACAD and
ARRIS had the best of each, the final result would be a nearly perfect tool
for Architects. Who gets there first, I don't know. I would think that what
would be left to do would be dependent upon hardware developments, and I am
sure I would come up with more wishes..
Ah yes, the zen of CAD maintenance.

OK. I already saw your messages to Dave Sly.
