(I'm sure people who've actually used CAD software know this:)

@omar I mean in theory it will. Or it will fail horribly.

@omar what I’m interested in right now is: can you construct parametric histories that are robust enough that you can use some physical fitness function on the output to optimize the early parametric choices.

@avi @omar I feel like there should be a way to characterize the intent behind the change that you want to make in such a way as it can inform automatically reconstructing the history in such a way that the current change won't bug out

@disconcision @omar very much agreed, and I think “how do you better capture design intent in CAD” is a hugely impactful and open area of UX research.

@omar @avi I enjoyed this article and some of the links on issues relating to this: https://mattferraro.dev/posts/cadmium
