The advantage that ArcView has is that it is easy to simplify the plot and
show only the labels and features that you
desire. Labels can scale to match the paper size of the plot.
Each piece of AutoCAD text is a definite height. If I want my building
names to be legible at very different scales I have to copy the names to a
second layer then resize the text and freeze the original text layer.
ArcView also allows for quicker map presentations in that you can assign
colors to entities in a feature based on a value in a field in the
attribute table.
I'm interested to hear what others think. We are an AutoCAD office but we
are investigating ArcGIS.
