I really liked to play with it, spending hours creating random shapes that meant nothing or spending hours trying to create something that did mean something, but then giving up because I couldn’t align what I had in my mind with that inside of AutoCAD. The main problem, I think, was the field of work that I was in at that time - Reinforced Concrete detailing. This was an extremely well established trade that did not like to budge an inch (or mm - sorry Europe, and Canada) in the way things had always been done. At the end of the day, all a site cared about were accurate 2D details on paper so why waste your time designing in 3D when 2D worked well, and had always been working well for years and years? Well, times have really changed, and 3D is becoming an extremely important side of AutoCAD (and CAD in general) which cannot be ignored. This realization really only came to light recently for me, probably only in the last 2 years has it really gained significant forwar
