Vectorworks was previously known as MiniCAD. It was originally developed on Mac OS. It was developed by Diehl Graphsoft, now Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc. Alongside MiniCAD, Diehl Graphsoft also released a 2D CAD program for the Mac targeted toward architects called Blueprint. The version numbers went up to 12 and are numbered from 2008 and on by the year (i.e. currently 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012). The data files used the MCD extension (from MiniCAD) until version 12. Vectorworks 2008 and onwards use the VWX extension.
