Columbia, Maryland (November 30, 2009)—Nemetschek North America is pleased to announce the unveiling of Planet Vectorworks®, a new community-focused component of their website that offers global news to English-speaking customers, prospects and members of the press.

"Telling the stories of what's happening with Vectorworks software and our customers around the world is an exciting next step for us," explains Theresa Downs, Communications Director at Nemetschek North America. "Designers in over 85 countries use our software, but before Planet Vectorworks, it was challenging to communicate the global reach of our products and community. We're quite delighted to launch this site and bring even more news and value to our customers."

In addition to weekly news posts—ranging from language-specific resources, to kudos to award-winning firms from around the world, to news from Nemetschek North America—Planet Vectorworks also includes links to Nemetschek North America's social networking sites, such as Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter.

Visitors to Planet Vectorworks can browse the site at their convenience by going to http://planet.vectorworks.net Visitors can also subscribe to an RSS feed and/or receive the updates via e-mail.
