Hi TRF colleagues,
I have this question pertaining to CAD, please.
In the context of CAD programs, what does it mean to say that a particular program is parametric? We have all seen this nomenclature when reading about CAD programs. If you go to the Wikipedia article where CAD programs are compared — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_computer-aided_design_software — you will see the term throughout. We don't have to go to Wikipedia, though — you see the word everywhere when referring to CAD programs.
Are there CAD programs that are non-parametric? If so, then what does a parametric CAD program do that a non-parametric CAD program cannot do?
Thank you.
Stanley
