Keep in mind that a lot of the people who set down the criteria for this software are the same people who spent most of their lives bent over a drafting table. Without question, you can do so much more and have fewer limitations than you do creating forms and shapes by hand.

Stuff like "Pencil Pushing Pinhead" and "CAD Worshiping Lame-brain" are right out.
