COLORS IN CAD DRAFTING All current CAD packages give you the freedom to use many colors in a drawing. Whereas CAD systems of yesteryear limited you to 255 or even just fifteen colors, today's CAD systems support the 16.7 million colors. That leaves new CAD users in a quandary: What color coding system? Why use colors at all?

CHIEF AT SEA RANCH On the rugged Northern California coast stands a unique, decades-old development called Sea Ranch. Buildings there have always been designed according to strict design guidelines that keep development clustered and rooflines compatible with the wind-swept bluffs. Architects who continue the Sea Ranch creative tradition accept these restrictions. One of them, Michael Wike, AIA, has learned to make his CAD software of choice, Chief Architect, from ART, Inc., adapt to his design style.
