The Secret of “Law Curve”
As president of the product design
firm known as Design Visionaries, located in the Silicon Valley, I have had the
opportunity to learn a lot about the way CAD software is used, and misused. I
have had the privilege of traveling to countries as far-flung as Australia, China, and the Netherlands to serve customers in a wide range of industries in the capacity of design
engineer and CAD trainer. I have also traveled all over the US and have
been asked to help engineers be more efficient. In the process, I have learned
very important lessons about how to maximize the use of CAD software.
