RADIO: Autodesk applies 'Hollywood-touch' to project plans
May 28, 2009    National Public Radio
"The big change that happened with the stimulus money — that has never happened before — was they injected that money and they had jobs on the shelf, which all states do. So these jobs came off the shelf, but they may have been designed ten years ago," said David Fagerman, transportation specialist with Autodesk, in this NPR report about how the $2.3-billion company turns old, 700-page plans into "tidy digital blueprints."
