    I agree with Ozgar on this statement, I do not know for sure since I have never used ACAD, but from what I have heard he is correct. However.......... I have found that if CA is used correctly, CAD is not a top priority, or should I say it is nowhere near as important as the 3D capabilities . When I use CA, I try to have as little CAD work as possible. I am assuming as CA matures, the CAD tools will improve, but until then, they are more than adequate for my needs.

    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    CA has stated that one of their goals is to be able to create the model in 2D/3D and then generate the CD's from there.
