The answer to your questions, and I'm a Revit newbie but a long time cad and 3d modeler, so here is my two-cents worth: 1. Revit will not take over for autocad 2007 (since autodesk just released 2008 a few months ago). Each will have its place in the market. Though the architecture and building markets will be leaning towards using Revit to give them the edge in the marketplace, it will still be a secondary “tool”, at least until the building side of the market fully adopts and understands the power of BIM and Revit. 2. For now, autocad is still king. And I don’t see this changing for some time. 3. Many firms still need GOOD cad drafters, but, those that have 3d modeling skills and have some experience with Revit will be more marketable. But, Revit is not so much a “cad monkey” type of software. What I mean is that to use Revit, you need to have a good understanding of architecture and building construction, not simply the ability to draw what you are told. You have to know how buildings go together. So, many of your Revit users will most likely be coming from recent architecture grads or interns that have a good knowledge of 3d modeling (at least be able to visualize in 3d) and building systems. I hope this helps, just remember, the software is only as good as its user, so you need to have good people to use it. Lee
