About Vectorworks
Vectorworks, Inc. has been developing software since 1985. The Vectorworks line of software products provides professional design solutions for more than half a million designers in the AEC, entertainment, and landscape design industries. With a tradition of designing CAD and Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions that allow designers to easily capture, develop, and communicate their ideas with accuracy and efficient, Vectorworks, Inc. continues to be a global leader in 3D design technologies.
The company has played a formative role in the CAD industry, redefining the marketplace by setting a high standard for its products, and continually testing and refining them to surpass users' expectations. In the process, it has become an internationally respected leader in both CAD and BIM technology. The company created one of the first CAD programs, one of the first 3D modeling software programs, and the first cross-platform CAD application.

Vectorworks, Inc., is a wholly owned subsidiary of European software giant the Nemetschek Group. A global leader in design technologies, Vectorworks has been developing computer-aided design (CAD) software for the architecture, engineering, construction, entertainment, and landscape design industries since 1985. The Vectorworks product line is one of the world's best-selling cross-platform CAD applications and has won many industry awards. The Vectorworks family of software includes Vectorworks Designer, Architect, Landmark, Spotlight, and Fundamentals.
Since its beginnings in the mid-1980s as Diehl Graphsoft, Inc. and later as Nemetschek Vectorworks, the company has played a formative role in the CAD industry, redefining the marketplace by setting a high standard for its products, and continually testing and refining them to surpass users' expectations. In the process, it has become an internationally respected leader in both CAD and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology. The company created one of the first CAD programs, one of the first 3D modeling software programs, and the first cross-platform CAD application. Vectorworks was also one of the first to introduce BIM capabilities, before BIM became an industry buzzword.
Another outstanding feature of Vectorworks' corporate identity is what Macworld magazine called its "nearly fanatical devotion to responsiveness to customers." The company's hands-on training seminars and self-guided training options provide users with a variety of learning tools for the software. The company has also helped third-party developers create Vectorworks-specific products.
With the spring 2000 acquisition by Nemetschek Group of Munich, Germany, Vectorworks became the Nemetschek Group's first US-based subsidiary, joining the parent company's network of more than 40 branches and subsidiaries throughout Europe. Dr. Biplab Sarkar, the CEO of Vectorworks, has focused the company on establishing global market leadership. That involves development of new products, entrance into new markets, and expansion into service areas once not considered as viable options. In 2017, Vectorworks acquired Design Software Solutions Limited and opened offices in Newbury and London, England to better serve its customers in the UK and Ireland. The company continued to expand and, in 2018, acquired Resolve Software Solutions and the assets of Paxar Technologies Corp and opened an office in Vancouver, Canada.
More than 685,000 designers rely on Vectorworks technology. They include world-renowned architects, prestigious landscape architects, award-winning entertainment designers, innovative product designers, and many more. Each day, Vectorworks products are put to work around the world in 11 languages. In addition to English, Vectorworks products are currently available in Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Polish, and Spanish.
Vectorworks has had increasing success over the past 30 years. The newest upgrade to the Vectorworks family of software, the Vectorworks 2020 product line, was released in September 2019.

Our Insights. Your Design.
We are designers of software that’s made to carry your design vision further. We think like you, imagine like you, and strive to create that next big thing like you. Design is at the core of our business. It’s what moves us forward every day. From our award-winning Vectorworks Architect and Landmark products to our market leading entertainment software solutions, we envision your design needs through the lens of using best in class 2D and 3D technologies and data to improve the entire design process. It’s our focus on providing you with intuitive interfaces to best in class technology that makes your selection of Vectorworks the right choice for informing your design decisions throughout the project lifecycle, from 2D drawing to 3D modeling to fully integrated BIM.
About Vectorworks
Since 1985, we’ve been creating design software solutions that now fully serve the AEC, landscape, and entertainment industries in 85 countries. We draw inspiration for creating Vectorworks software from the world around us and the innovative ways industry users create with it. With more than 685,000 users, we’re building a global community of Vectorworks users who are creating, connecting, and influencing the next generation of design with our software on both Mac and Windows. Vectorworks is the first architectural software developer to earn the major milestone of IFC4 Export Certification — a distinction that reinforces our drive to put collaboration at the heart of sharing information across software systems.
Across the world stage, Vectorworks is driving the adoption of BIM within the architecture, landscape and entertainment industries. From helping architects be successful with the UK’s regulatory BIM mandate and influencing the Modernist landscape design of the National 9/11 Memorial to advancing set design for the box-office shattering SKYFALL and the world’s biggest Halftime Show, these are some of the more public ways that Vectorworks stands behind design innovation. We provide powerful tools to help our users capture ideas, nurture innovation, communicate effectively, and expand their vision.
Moving forward, our commitment to developing world-class 3D and BIM modeling software is ingrained in a singular truth: inspired design happens at the hands of the designer with the tools they select to envision and manage the project. Vectorworks supports that inspiration with a product line that emphasizes the use of data to inform design decisions throughout the workflow process. It’s an approach that reduces errors in the early stages of the design process — data exposes gaps in concept, which can be corrected in real-time, keeping projects on time and on budget.
