You can produce plans for an extension to your house, rotate it and view it from any angle and then print it out. You can design a kitchen, theatrical scenery, electronic circuits - all to your own specification. And then add text, move parts of the diagrams around, cut and paste different parts of them - the possibilities are endless."
