Why isn't 3DS more like ACAD? >> that's one of the great un-answered
questions of the universe <g>. You have to remember that the two are
programing groups of different camps with very different priorities.
I don't think we want the core ACAD group coding 3DS (lest the
interface fall into that of ACAD) and the Yost's might bounce off the
walls at the other place. There definately seems to be a right-brain
left-brain division between the two groups <g>.
The two programs can work very well together and I think that
AutoVision is a step in the right direction (i.e. integrating 3DS
into AutoCAD and not the other way around). Once they finally get
AutoVision to translate (or AT LEAST respect and not discard) all of
the 3DS information the two worlds will finally comunicate.
Windows – it's already there as a DOS App. I don't think running 3DS
as a true WIN3.1 App is a very good idea. Now NT on the other
hand…………
