I joined a development corporation that until I arrived had no architecture department. I showed my skills and background and thanks to my knowledge of ArchiCad and the Chairman's intense pleasure in seeing things so quickly in 3D, got the job. 2 months later they bring on another architect, one who has done a few projects for this company in the past. He does not computer draft well, but the little he can do is in AutoCad. He's been framing a debate of one vs. the other since he arrived and while I openly offer to translate all the files I work on into his archaic and simplistic program, its like I'm talking to a brick wall. The debate is about to hit a major head and despite my ability to create much faster drawings and without additional time or expense place everything into 3D and have presentation images ready at the drop of a hat, he's playing the "industry standard" card. I point out that the DWG file format is the standard, not the program, but the company execs don't know the difference. I need more fodder for my argument. At this point I'm ready to walk away and pursue another route as this issue highlights more than just a drafting issue. And with a project as large as we are taking on, I can't imagine starting off on the wrong foot and always being 5 steps behind. Somehow the logical argument isn't having the effect I'd prefer. Any suggestions?
