MCAD Modeling—History . . . or Not?
History and nonhistory-based modeling software each has its own advantages.

"If you've kept track of the 3D-modeling business for very long, you've heard of a great battle that is raging: history-based modeling versus nonhistory-based modeling. Both camps have strong supporters. In fact, sometimes it sounds like partisan politics. Just because a system is parametric, is it better than one that isn't? I don't think so. I have used many systems over the years, and I can tell you from first-hand experience that both approaches have merits. But what's at the heart of the debate?"
