Before you start cussin' all engineers, read this:

In the mid-1980s, a New Hampshire civil engineer named Dave Arnold developed a series of routines to run inside a new software package named AutoCAD. Written using the LISP programming language, Arnold's routines provided surveying and civil engineering functionality within AutoCAD's graphic environment. His company, DCA Software (later renamed to Softdesk), brought graphical design and computation to the broad surveying market.
