I've just installed AutoCAD 2007 Building Systems today. We've tried exporting 2007-format .dwg files to 2000 format -- and while it works, there are 'interesting' glitches in the 2000 file. Among other things, copyclip from one drawing to another doesn't work. I have to do a direct insert to get around the problem. And 2007 objects don't seem to translate well into 2000. Blocks come in wonky.
It's not a picnic taking 2007 drawings back down to 2000. At least not from what we've seen so far.
As far as using Vue and AutoCAD together -- that's not an issue for me. AutoCAD is used for my engineering dayjob. Vue I use nights/weekends for "art" and for fun.
{Edit} I highly recommend Lightwave. I've owned LW for a few months now - and I've just downloaded my LW9 upgrade from Newtek. I have NOT been disappointed.
