I'm imagining Autodesk's M&A team are right now getting a lecture on what "CAM" stands for by the engineers and that there will be some facepalming.

Though it should be said that a social CAM application is a funny idea.

Actually, being able to collaborate in real-time on a model would be quite useful.

GitHub for CAM?

[crisnoble → sanxiyn]

Does that exist? It should...

back in early 2000 we did exactly that.. and even had one model over a server-less/p2p arch.

Was too early for the market, I guess :)

This is a bad joke.

You could say that guy is a real cad.

Hahaha! Epic!! Its one of the shittiest apps I've ever used. Oh wait, I never used it at all - It used my account by itself! (Of course I did authorize it by mistake, ONCE!!)
