Maxxxmodelz: Autocad has more of a following in the engineering department (another Autodesk product). 3dsMax is owned by Discreet, a subdivision of Autodesk, and is geared towards game developement professionals more than anything. AutoCAD is a design/drafting program. AutoCADs primary output is blueprints (for lack of a better term) not models. Comparing AutoCAD to 3ds max is like comparing Word to Excel. Yeah, they can do some of the same things, but they are designed with a different end in mind. But we digress.
