From the Foreword
` ... man develops modern technology, modern technology influences man.
An architectural or engineering office supporting a CAD department is
deeply influenced by this relatively new technology and cannot be
successful in its use unless organizationally and individually ready to
be influenced; just as modems and word processing have revolutionized
verbal communication in the A/E environment, CAD is in the process of
revolutionizing both small and large scale visual communication...
May the reader of this useful book learn to make the best use of one of
the most rewarding visual techniques developed to date.'
