Thought I would share this cool unorthodox use of AutoCAD. AutoCAD made a cameo as the main actor and actual creative engine in the music video for the band R.E.M.’s latest album single release. Not only does the AutoCAD UCS and arrays of geometry and text look avant-garde,but the music is good.

Trivia Tidbit: AutoCAD has been on the big screen with several other unorthodox uses such as the cameo as the software used by “the worlds great hacker” and battling an evil bad guy played by John Travolta in the movie Swordfish.
Yes, AutoCAD saved the world in the movie.
Cheers,

John Travolta was not “the worlds great hacker” in swordfish. He was the villain.
Thanks Bryce, my memory of that film was not as good and accurate as yours. Still AutoCAD saved the world.
Well, it’s appropo to nothin’ (in other words, “who cares”) but i believe grammatically he is saying the character in the movie (of that title) played by John Travolta.
If I recall correctly it was running on UNIX, too.
