Architecture is but a small corner in the world of engineering and applications for CAD. While it is true that you can't avoid autodesk completely, you can no problem until at least second year in college. There is zero reason a high s

I can't agree more with stallman. It pisses me off to no end that I was forced to learn autodesk in school, only to graduate and realizing nobody uses it in the real world. So why did my school pay to teach software nobody uses? Might
