For me, it suggests that there might be a staff of AutoCAD workers that
are NOT architect-educated to do the drafting tasks of the designer
architects.
Howard - this is the way we always handled it. Their were CAD people in the
basement (not a dungeon), who were responsible for all of the electronic
manipulation of the design. We used CAD work as a too for design development
(stretching grids, re-orienting building direction, etc.), but still did
most of the work by hand. Now computer applications are used solely for
design development and visualization studies, 3D modeling, and montaging.
