Cad limitations and Prospects |
|
|
I 'd like to pose an open question to all forum members.
I am conducting a survey of Cad software in terms of a university project and I would to ask the forum members who care to reply, in their expertise what deficiencies or limitations would they think Cad software suffers from. I come from a construction industry background.
It could maybe be features that are considered beyond the scope of Cad, or that may not have been implemented well. It could also be some requested features that have not gained enough traction to appear in Cad or some that are only available by user add ons.
Some areas of issue might be the interoperability of files and user interface, or the input mechanisms of the software. For example with multi touch gaining ground, how is the traditional keyboard limiting or complicating the user experience. I would think the user interface would be a major gripe for some people. Here are some points I have come across in my research:
- How suitable is Cad software in the early design stages as opposed to the information production stage?
- How well established is a model based approach and how far has it come in integrating with cost and performance analysis software?
- How well does Cad actually improve the actual design process and opposed to offering merely a set of tools.
If anyone feels they can spare the time, I would really like to hear from you.
