Planning ahead

We will be looking at few of older (and less known) cad platforms that have came to past from Europe (for sentimental and historical significance), then we will be defining what kind of architectural firms are out there mainly in west as a market of cad software (and their sometimes difficult relationships with cad vendors) and then will publish a master list of cad software available now in what is becoming more and more a global market place. This list over time hopefully will became more useful as time past. Another task will be to define the criteria of how these tools will be rated. There is no such thing as "best software" that will fit all needs for all people but the intent is to figure out what tools are best at what tasks. The architecture has became more complex then ever and there are myriads of uses and niches to fill.
