This caused us to step back, concentrate on developing and designing the product, and slow our marketing efforts. We also reorganized our International branch. In the United States, we set up a partner and distribution system. We now work with AEC INFO , which offers an electronic distribution system for our products. We believe this is the best way to provide rich functionality while maintaining ease of use.
Objects are a natural way to simulate reality inside a program.
Objects with inherent intelligent behavior let you go beyond creating only geometry in drawings to creating deliverables that capture design intent. This makes a huge difference as opposed to traditional CAD, because the information in the design now holds more value that you can reuse in subsequent designs and production. This approach is often called model-based, with the model formed by the sum of the semantic objects with their relationships. An object for the user is not necessarily one object in the software. Under the hood, an object is typically implemented with several software objects that interact in a complex way.
