First thing, first: “The survey asked a series of questions to establish current usage of both 2D and 3D CAD, as a precursor to determining likely future engagement with Building Information Modelling (BIM).” … actually, this was the question: “When producing CAD drawings, which of the following tools do you mainly use?”

You can snap to an imported and non-exploded CAD drawing. Similar to the behaviors when placing structural walls and slabs, all structural elements now snap to the geometry of imported drawings. There is also enhanced user interface for structural elements in order to improve productivity during structural modeling.
