| Not real sure how it changed it. Maybe a title on how the computer changed Architecture instead? Acad is simply a tool. Used well by some and poorly by others. It was one of the early players and continues to shape the industry but more to the CAD world than AutoCAD. IMHO. |

I first saw AutoCad in 1983. So it was somewhat of a pioneer.
First application of CAD I saw was by IBM and Man Mac. Some large offices like SLS Environetics used this system. It utilized a flatbed plotter. Those skilled in punchcard development could have fun with this system. This dated back to 1973.

We had these huge CAD workstations in tech. school that never worked. I mean they were huge! In my 2 years there they never worked  . This was through 1989-1991 so it was a while ago. We were using r9 on DOS in the main CAD labs running on 386 machines. Thank GOD for progress |
