I have seen the the most often over-looked aspect of CAD is the education of
the users… how many come into Advanced ATC classes that still do not
understand, nor use customized menus, scripts, Lisp, or Paper/Model space, not
to mention utilizing 3D wireframes, or dare I say AME solids… Education of
management usually falls in the category of what was originally defined as
success when CAD systems were installed. Few bothered to set criteria then, and
now are unable to make an educated judgement as to what the true productivity
gains are. CAD users know the gains intuitively, but unless benchmarks of
production (drawing) outputs are set, management will have little chance of
seeing a difference.
