Kevin Setting Defaults in AC is a bigger pain than in CA but you can do more with AC.
Setting Pen weights that correspond with elements is a nightmare in AC as windows and doors have different pens for different windows and door parts.
CA is simpler since all windows and door parts are not divided up.
AC is harder to learn than CA but I like both for different reasons.
CA X4 with its new mono slabs options is great time saver for me when it comes to drawing cross sections for slab houses, well done CA.
For me AC15 is way out of my domain with its shell tool and it has now become way too complicated and long winded especialy when it comes to freer form modeling.
So if you are doing houses that dont have fancy free form components, stick to Chief or you will get confused IMOLast edited by Justice; 11-17-2011 at 08:15 PM.
