Chief Vs Autocad

[perryh]

Our customer base is dominated by design/build professionals.

However, architects do influence our design decisions significantly. I like to push for features that are more requested by architects because they really do know what they are doing when it comes to design and are asking for things that some of our design/build professionals don't know they need. For example the space planning tools (House Wizard) is something that most architects recognize immediately as a valuable design aid.

As we move forward I believe that the influence from architects will greatly improve the quality of the program.

Doug, really, you've just alienated most of your base. You don't think us designers have anything to offer. Just because anyone is an Architect doesn't mean anything. That was not a good comment coming from Chief. There are a lot of people here you have just insulted.
