It was very expensive, slow and unstable but I was able to do some things with it that were not feasible on the board - I stuck to the board for everything else. Now it is much cheaper, faster and more stable but I don't do any drawings any more. I sketch what I want and interact with a young enthusiastic CAD expert to iterate to a drawing. Good but I preferred it when i was "self sufficient". FD On 16 Dec, 2009, at 05:58, Mark Rabiner wrote: >> Early BIM software I used in 1993-94 was a disaster.
