If I don't count educational years, I've been working with Autocad/ADT for 4.5 years (July 2001 to Dec 2005) and 7 years in Revit (Jan 2006 to present). Scary! If I add school, then it's like 1 year additional hand drafting and 6 additional years of AutoCad. But that doesn't really count ;)Dave Baldacchinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431940617680243953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-70301374412665601952012-12-18T09:40:33.812-08:002012-12-18T09:40:33.812-08:00Time to reflect on the programs used.

It was a Mac II, w/ 19” monitor. The hard drive was spacious 80mg. The cost of the machine and monitor was about $16,000 ($31,000 today). Changed computer platforms when changing jobs. Only 2 jobs over the past 24 years. The hand drafting has served me well, by thinking of line weights to present a drawing in a clear logical fashion. <br />Dananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-41673189797162205142012-12-14T08:36:56.796-08:002012-12-14T08:36:56.796-08:00Very interesting way of looking at it.

My first CAD application was Mac Draw (if you can call it that) and briefly MiniCAD. I used Generic CAD before Autodesk bought it and shortly after. Next to AutoCAD I used Microstation and TriForma (less) the longest, for about four years.<br /><br />My first computers were Macs in the mid 80's. I switched to PC to use AutoCAD. They stopped supporting the Mac just as I got interested in using it. In my experience there is not much difference between Apple and PC. I have used multple versions over the years and they all crash, need updates and are quirky.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-69569963161652019692012-12-13T07:47:22.329-08:002012-12-13T07:47:22.329-08:00amazing that you did not get the chance to use a n...amazing that you did not get the chance to use a non-autodesk porduct.

As for tipping points, I think I fell over some time back and don't seem to be able to get up again.Andy Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292205727891265423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-51312240248560901672012-12-12T10:51:49.263-08:002012-12-12T10:51:49.263-08:00Oddly I am still a long time away from my own pers...Oddly I am still a long time away from my own personal "tipping point". I started using AutoCAD in High School in 1985 and then made the switch to Revit around 2002. So for me AutoCAD use = 17 yrs. Revit use = 10 yrs. Of course my fist 8 or so years of AutoCAD was pretty light since I was still a student. :)Jeff Hanson, Autodeskhttp://wikihelp.autodesk.comnoreply@blogger.com
