Interesting…the price in US was only $3,000. CAD/camera was released in
1986 as Autodesk's second software release after AutoCAD. It attempted to
do intelligent conversions. CAD/camera 2 would place raster groupings of 40
pixels or smaller on their own layer; these were considered text or small
blocks. CAD/camera was responsible for the DXB format, which is still
refered to in the Printer Plotter ADI driver! It was pulled off the market
in Christmas 1987 (I think) after disappointing sales. One figure I heard
was only 1,000 copies.
