Just for "fun" (and a little "Oh yeah...? I've got one better then you!" one-upmanship), describe the first system that you used for "CAD" (note that the first computer that you used will be the topic of a similar future question in this forum). For me, it was:
Synercom Informap, an AM/FM/GIS/LIS system running on a PDP-11/70 using the operating system RSX-11M-Plus (anyone remember PIP?). Program customization was done using FORTRAN IV Plus. The workstations were the gigantic, twin-CRT, LSI monsters with 48"x36" digitizer tables. And the plotter was a Calcomp 960 (with a two-pen block).
Yeah, we've come a long way since then!
The first CAD system I used back in 88 'was MiniCad 4 [now Vectorworks] on a brand new Apple SE/30 during 2nd year college...
That same year I got into ACAD 10 on a brand new borrowed 486 PC...a few years after that I was saddled in a studio working in ACAD on an Apple Mac II in the early R12 dayz..
I first cracked MicroStation in 1995 with MicroStation 95..
