Autodesk's Jay Tedeschi remembers one kink, the type of event that still produces problems in organizations. "I was part of a small R & D team that was investigating viability of pure 3D design. We spent weeks not only securing workflows within our organization that could support working in this fashion, but we also carefully picked vendors that could work with our digital data instead of traditional paper drawings.
