It’s a 3-D world

From On-Site Magazine. November/December 2009.

Autodesk’s AutoCAD has long been a staple in construction design and drafting. Even if you use a different application, this software seems to be everywhere you look and you have to be able to collaborate with its users.

But this application has been changing lately. A little over 10 years ago, AutoCAD started evolving, both in practice and perception, from a drafting tool to a design tool. Users were enabled not just to get down an original idea, but also to manipulate new ideas and improve on designs on the fly.
