Also, I'm not sure if you're fluent in hand drafting. Some Big differences between the two, learn both. Please for the love of god, print your paperwork out. Decent Brother laser printers can be had for the tune of $150 and will last forever. Neither is there any excuse for an even poorly functioning and terribly funded theater or production company to not have a decent laser printer readily available at the job site. It should be a permanent fixture in your workflow planning. There is absolutely no reason not to print out your plot and paperwork.
#Babacad vs qcad pdf#
You do not want me pulling out my phone to download a PDF of the ground plan when I'm up on the grid rigging and might drop it. I cannot fold up your Ipad and stow it in my pocket to climb a ladder. I cannot quickly pencil in notes or questions on the margin of your screen. I cannot sit it by the chop saw while I'm working through my cut list. I cannot take your laptop up on the lift with me. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS print out your plot and paperwork before the crew shows up, multiple copies. How important is it for you to be able to quickly access your drawings on site? Are you often able to, or do you face any difficulty doing this? If you can garner a working knowledge of both, but become proficient in one, you'll be fine.

What is the main purpose you use CAD for? You can convert files between AC and VW, but it can cause problems if you have several people making modifications. The best answer for "which should I use" is "The one your friends/employers use" They will be your first stop for tech support, and training. You could make a huge list of pros and cons, this and thats, but in the end it's about personal taste. This is essentially the "Mac or PC" question. How would you compare to AutoCAD or Vectorworks? Cad is the medium by which we communicate our ideas How often do you use CAD during your job? I use vector works, being a lighting person. In the corporate/special event world it's anyone's guess, though I'd say you'll find autocad more often than not.
