I've had AC9 for about 1 month, then AC10 - so I am a total beginner on this forum. For me, I can't wait to upgrade to AC11! I haven't tried it yet, but I feel it will save me time in the everyday workflow w/ the added / improved tools. Time is definitely money for me, even for a single user firm. It should be more for bigger firms, no?
Also, I feel the recent years are different from the past in the Virtual Building timeline - because of all the competition and the increased awareness in general on these programs. This will naturally up the antes for everyone, and increase the funding / development speed. Everything in life (pretty much) is on a yearly cycle - so why not AC?
I'll be happy as long as there are any improvements to the workflow.
The virtual trace seems to be a great step towards implementing traditional design / visualization steps of drawing on layers and layers of tracing paper in a new digital form. I know that it won't replace real tracing paper and design w/ pencil, but I feel it's an important first step. The worksheets - I'm not sure what it is exactly, but if it can let me reference any view from anywhere like it promises, then I feel that's a real improvement to my workflow - of making empty details and overlapping them in the layout w/ the section view, group them, etc., etc...Of course, there are lots of other little improvements here and there that I'm sure will make AC easier for me.
