Anyway, I heard the same types of arguments when engineering drawings went from mylar on drawing boards to CAD programs and files. "Look, on paper all I have to do is erase this number and put in the new value. The guy on CAD has to start the computer, open the file, wait for it to regenerate, change the value and then tell it to regenerate again, then he has to send it to the plotter. What takes me 3 minutes takes him 25!" Yet how come everyone uses CAD now?
Coming from a Mechanical Designer/Drafter I can answer this. When CAD first came out it was very slow and the old timers were right, they could do in 5 minutes what took a CAD Drafter 25 minutes if not more. They refused to learn CAD, and in the long run they lost their jobs. But with 3D its come full circle, for me its alot harder and more time consuming to d something in 3D than it is in CAD. Alot of companies and customers think that because 3D is there it needs to be used, which isnt the case. There are just some applications that it isnt necessary and almost pointless to use it.
