15 Automation - Part 1 of 3

Automation is a very important and and sometimes very useful part of DDD. A good understaning of how it works is very beneficial to the solution builder.

This first part starts by comparing some sample steps taken for the manual method with the Automated method. Then I go further with a second example and compare how automated constraints can make less efficient choices than might be desired by the designer. Finally a quick look at the Constraints Tutor which is found in the Profile tool palette and includes the Convert to Constraint and Sketch Profile tools.

As I tend to repeat many times, I'm not a huge fan of Automation for real-world works in complex solutions. I would also recommend not becoming reliant on Automation, because if something goes wrong - a good understanding of the manual is needed for trouble-shooting and repair.
