Ten reasons why CAD (computer-aided design) is not a religion *

 * Assuming you are a Jew and a man because:
A. My acquaintance with other religions is insufficient
B. In my experience, women do not need an explanation that CAD is not a religion

1. When you want to switch to another CAD system, no one will ask you to cut a piece from yours...

2. When you want to save a file, you do not need to gather ten people per action

3. When your computer reaches the age of 13, this is really not a reason to celebrate

4. CAD does not care if, instead of pairing a screw to drill, you prefer to pair a screw to a screw

5. When you use CAD, God is called the IT Manager, and he is much less friendly and attentive than the one sitting in the sky

6. Your CAD system does not care if you use a foreign CAD system (as long as you do not bring foreign files home)

7. In religion, you only need to boot once a year

8. A CAD system does not make you fat on holidays

9. It is not customary to kiss the screen every time you open the computer,

10. A simple software upgrade will solve the problem of different versions hating each other


Of course, if you use my CAD system, I have ten excellent and convincing reasons that CAD is really but really a religion.

Ten reasons why you shouldn't replace your 3D SolidX software with the new generation CAD software

1. End-of-year sales - After being tempted to spend so much on a one-time deal that will not return (every year), you do not want to find out that buying upgrades and buying software is so old-fashioned (and expensive)

2. 2021 version - feel good to know that you are working on a newer version than no one use (because there is really not much difference)

3. Graphics card - after visiting all the forums, learning the differences between games to 3D CAD cards, buying the graphics card, and finding the suitable driver, it's a shame to throw away all this knowledge 

4. Train - RAFAEL use it, and they have a train that crosses the factory, and you want one too

5. Morning coffee - In the morning, while your Solid software is waking up, you can make a coffee, and then there is time for a sandwich and, from time to time, another coffee cup.

6. Patriotism - Flash drive is an Israeli invention, and you are a proud Israeli, so this is the only way you transfer files from the office to home and to customers.

7. Hackers - The cloud is dangerous. It's all Iranians and Hezbollah. This is why you only share files in email and lock your computer in a drawer at the end of the day.

8. Acronyms - You also have PDM, and it comes with many pleasant words like Check-in (feels like traveling). You really do not want to learn that Vault is something of the past

9. Education - SolidX is what you studied at university, and it takes them hundreds of years to discover that Einstein was right, and Newton was wrong. Why change. 

10. Religion - CAD is a religion. And religion you replace only if you are a nuclear spy who worked who ran away from the Mosad (spoiler, it did not end so well).
