Moving from AutoCAD 2004 to ArchiCAD

[Anonymous]

I am an Autocad user with a large library of drawings considering a move to the G5 running Autocad in Virtual PC. I am interested in moving to a cad product running native in the MAC OS. My drawings are all 2D - floorplans and elevations. Can they be imported into ArchiCAD? What is the learning curve?

Thanks for your help!

Cheers

I should have added that it works best for a single operator , Like myself a one man band!!

My partner is planning to do some tsunami relief work and when she goes to south asia would be taking archicad with her. Spending another $4000 so I can keep the office running while she does probono would be a big expense for us. Does Graphisoft ever donate software for a worthy cause?

Graphisoft has supported charitable organizations like Habitat for Humanity by providing their software free of charge. Tsunami relief will require many years of reconstruction and a software like ArchiCAD could go a long way in effectively supporting the effort. Check with your local reseller and see if they can contact Graphisoft with you to inquire about the possibility.
