Welcome to the archoncad website.

archoncad is the premier provider of manuals and training resources for VectorWorks.

We have over a decade of experience in VectorWorks manual writing, production, and sales. Our business concept dates back to 1992, when we first started using MiniCad. We found that there were only a few training resources available at that time. Our mission has been to take away the mystery from computer-aided design.

Director Jonathan Pickup is an architect trained in New Zealand and in the UK with over 25 years of experience. He is the main manual writer and support provider, and he has been providing training and consulting services to architects and design professionals since 1992. He has written several VectorWorks training manuals for architects, landscape architects, educators, and design students. He co-chairs the New Zealand VectorWorks User Group and provides its main direction.

"When I started to teach MiniCad, I realized how much help some people really need," says Jonathan Pickup. "Then, when I was a CAD Manager at a large office in London, I realized how helpful it is to have a specialist on hand for support."

Our original aim was to provide the training and support that architects and design professionals need to use VectorWorks and MicroStation. We have had an excellent response to our VectorWorks manuals and user groups and have built many of the resources that we felt were needed to support users.

We now focus primarily on VectorWorks.

All the prices shown on this web site are in $US.

"I recently purchased the training videos produced by Mr. J. Pickup. If anyone out there is thinking about these videos I just want to let you know that in my humble opinion they are very good.
I have purchased many AutoCAD videos and none are as good as the Pickup videos. I don't know Mr. Pickup but he did an outstanding job. Bravo!" Mike Enriquez Architect Arizona
