??? 3DS and Cinema 4D and TrueSpace and Blender and Accurender and...
are no CAD systems but mesh based render- and raytracing programs and
do of course not replace a mainly for 2D useable CAD system as AC nor
the 3D modeling CAD solutions as the AD Desktop series or Inventor.
Nobody denies that AC has some limited 3D modeling functionality,
actually neither AD is promoting AC as a 3D CAD nor anybody
professional besides some students and one-man-show bureaus which
cannot afford something more capable are using AC for doing advanced
and productuve 3D modeling.
In fact, if 3D modeling is needed, other programs as Inventor or
SolidWorks or SolidEdge or Pro/E or Catia etc. for engineering and
design or ArchiCad or Allplan or VectorWorks etc. for civil
engineering are used.
This is just the truth, any verbose defense of AC as a 3D modeler is
just stupid.
