1. Is it archicad only for architect? how do it cooperate with surveyor, engineer, etc.......?
2. i know archicad can draw 2d and import details from dwg file, but does it mean the draftman still need AutoCAD for modifying the details? because on my own, i really hope archicad to replace other 2d/3d cad software.
3. ArchiCAD is a BIM software, and will it be the trend of architectural drawings? because in my country, it is still a very new thing that people even don't know what it is.

Don't make statements like this, people might believe them.

By that logic, shouldn't Archicad be able to read Vectorworks?

Hey guys come on...
Didn't you see the wink?!...
I meant that a company like AutoDesk and its policy wouldn't buy another software and make it stand alone...
Edit: And besides this I was talking aboutbetter dwg export.
Anyway... Sorry for my potentially misunderstood statement.

Correctly for what?
At least at my relatively beginner level, I get all I need out of dwgs in AC.
As you want more features or complexity you need more sophistication in the translator and usage.
Which is probably true of all software. So hang on>>>>
It's gonna be a long strange trip............But we'll get there.
