counterpoint definition: "the art or technique of playing a melody or melodies in conjunction with another, according to fixed rules."

cad, or computer-aided design and drafting (cadd), is a software for design and technical documentation, which is an automated process as opposed to the manual drawing of plans. this gives a person an advance in making plans as an architect in a short period of time. one who can render plans through this software will gain a skill that is better than one who makes plans manually. this is a skill some companies look for in an employee.
