CAD Automation Archeology

In this video, we take a trip down memory lane to explore how early design automation paved the way for today's powerful cloud-based tools. You'll learn how we went from building a playground designer—where component rules and constraints created instant parts lists and quotes—to transforming multi-week processes into just a few hours. Fast forward to today, and those same principles are driving cloud-based configurators for industrial walkways. Learn how smart rules, automated drawing sets, and dynamic parts lists are revolutionizing how engineers design and deliver complex systems—all from a browser. Discover how automating repetitive tasks frees up time for innovation—and how these solutions are shaping the future of design.
