I have recently started using Sketchup Make, and have found it much simpler and easier to use than AutoCAD (granted, I haven't done much with AutoCAD). However, if I have to send something to an architect who's using AutoCAD, I'll need to save it in a format he or she can use. Does anyone have any experience with this? I understand I'll have to get Sketchup Pro in order to save my drawings as dwg's, and I will do so if I hear it's workable.
