I miss the logical structure or simplicity of AutoCAD when working with layers

Wow, I've never heard anyone call Autocad's layers "simple" before. I've never seen a worse case of taking a critical feature (turning elements on and off in drawings) and associate with with more un-related functions (color, pen weight, and line type)

AC's layers are far more sophisticated, that is absolultely without question.

Archicad layers only turn things on and off.Also Lock or unlock, Wire Frame or Solid, Intersection Priority.

SIMPLY PUT to a untrained person, which will be MOST OF THE NEW USERS and POSSIBLE CLIENTS for AC, the layering system in AC doesn't LOOK like it works very well. Not when one has used AutoCAD, which is what MOST PEOPLE get trained on in the local colleges.Have you ever put an untrained person in front of AutoCAD? As you say with ArchiCAD, of course they will struggle. No software can be used to its fullest extent without some external help. It's the same with anything complex, you don't expect a child who has thrown a paper plane to be able to fly a jumbo jet?! I suspect with a little training they would pick it up scarily quickly though!
