    reiterate the claim that Autodesk invented PC CAD.

    This claim is totally untrue.

    Who remembers what companies produced and
    marketed PC CAD software before Autodesk?

    1981 SKOK ARPLAM 2D 3D + Databese running on HP color screen + Monochrome screen wonderful architectural program driven through tablet menu, soooo easy to use

    In 1983 I was working on HP workstations with ARPLAN by Skok, wonderful architectural program 2D 3D + Database on two screen in COLORS, tablet driven menu and no need to touch your keyboard for commands

    Hi, I was a draftswomen back in the 80's and worked on two CAD programs
    Arplan and Drawbase - then came Caddie first version all were used for building trade( architects etc. )They were both from a company called Skok if i am correct. Based in JHB or cape Town South Africa at the time.
