The above nice image is from Autodesk Employee Lance Thompson who is a Vespa Wizard. This was created from 2D line work in a DWG file.

It works with DWG files, DWF files, output from other products and makes them look phenomenal. Revision to the design take only minutes to update the Vespa output instead starting over with markers or post editing of a postscript file. Take what used to be a several hour or many day process into about 20 minutes. You can assign styles to layers or blocks, convert hatches to styles, have a block insert replaced by another block randomly scaled and rotated to prevent that same tree copied look. It is just plain fun and effective.
