ReMark Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Plain old AutoCAD without any enhancements. Straight out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadgad Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Vanilla meaning PLAIN, not flavored or added to, like one of the Vertical Products. Yes, I know Vanilla is a flavor, one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Some use the word "generic" in place of vanilla. I prefer peppermint AutoCAD myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 FYI: Because there are products like "AutoCAD Civil 3D", "AutoCAD Electrical", "AutoCAD Architecture", and "AutoCAD P&ID". These are built on top of AutoCAD, and they contain all of the functionality of AutoCAD, but with more features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samifox Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 what Vanilla flavor has to do with natural autocad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 It is not a flavor. Look up the definition of "vanilla" and you see this included... ...having no special or extra features; ordinary or standard. Now do you understand how the word is being used in reference to AutoCAD versus a vertical product built on top of AutoCAD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukecad Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The term is originally derived from ice-cream believe it or not. 'Plain' (or standard) ice cream is vanilla flavoured. So plain (or standard) versions of software became known as the "vanilla version" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
