Around the late l950s, Bill Fetter of Boeing (Seattle) began exploring the possibilities of vector graphic CAD. With Wichita, Fetter translated the dimensions of the yet-to-be-built supersonic transport to punch card input to computer and Gerber plotter. He then made wireframe step drawings to animate and prove the behaviour of the plane in flight-the first demonstration of computer accurate graphics. Fetter later assembled the first computer generated commercial in the late 1960s.
