From the supplier: Computer-aided design (CAD) software evolves, responding to users' demands. 'Associativity' - designing in 'hooks' for connecting graphics to alphanumeric data - is a trend. So is add-on management - information management tools tailored to a CAD environment. Three-dimensional capabilities enjoy continuing momentum. As 3D capabilities improve, so do links to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) and CIM (computer-integrated manufacturing). CAD's destiny involves integration of CAD into manufacturing, and CAD's destiny fast approaches. CAD packages already allow drawings to be downloaded from design departments directly to machine shops and tooling areas.
