Hello, I recently purchased Autodesk AutoCAD but am considering changing over to AutoCAD for Architects. My application is interior design of Home Theaters. I know I can do 3D drawings using a previous version of AutoCAD, 2004, but I would like to upgrade. I see that AutoCAD Architecture allows you to utilize standard objects, such as window and doors, but my application involves building custom wall structures. Some examples of the drawings in 3-D I made can be seen in my website acousticallycorrect.net (currently under constructions). If you select "Design", it shows some of the drawings I made. My question is, does AutoCAD Architect have all the same capabilities of AutoCAD, in other words, can you use AutoCAD Architecture I in a regular AutoCAD mode if needed?.
The interface will be different but as far as I can tell, you can do what you're asking. Really, the architect version has parametric components, but you don't have to use them. It can speed things along but it's still a 2D software 99.9999% of the time.

Not worth the money. The learning curve is huge and frustrating when starting out with ACAD Arch., esp. on your own.
