First parametric Software

(OP)
All,
A friend and I are discussing what was the first CAD parametric software. I was saying SDRC ideas and he was thinking Autodesk. Which came first? And please don't say the chicken or the egg?

PDMAdmin,
Everything you wanted to know about CAD, but were afraid to ask, huh?

A star for you!

Question, why are the stars pink? Can we come up with a different color besides pink? Perhaps gold....?

Best,

Purple Stars?  Is that following in the tradition of Lucky Charms?
