    I am a software designer. Pretty much all of my work is done to a specification that I receive as an input. Like a word document with requirements that sort of thing? In other words, I don’t just write code, I have to write it to support a design spec. What is this like for a CAD engineer? Do you receive some sort of input that you designed to? Like requirements written out in language or maybe a model?

    I'm 25 years old, so I went from being a welder to now being a Detailer/ Drafter, while never touching and looking at Architectural and Structural prints ever. I have no degrees but I have community college certificates for specifically welding and AutoCAD. My question to the long time CAD guys, what is your method of attack to a fresh project and what steps do you take to keep consistency and in general to develop a good draft for others to use. I'm struggling with consistency and honesty in everything. I've been at this for 3 months and I need a mentor. I'm the sole CAD guy at work

      @@patriotskingnation8084 I was at the right place at the right time. My boss realized my potential after I got his big rotory plasma cutter up and running so he pitched the idea. Honestly I would download the free version of Fusion 360. Learn how to use it, make some cool stuff. Take a community college course for like $350 for AutoCAD and ask EVERYONE for a job. Eventually you will find one. Most places will just hire if you ask to get experience. I owe it all to my generous boss and he's why I have my current setup. CAD is a great Segway away from welding.

    I graduated college with a BS in game design (artist end of it) and still had no idea what I really wanted besides "making things" the past year I figured out that a CAD Tech is where I want to go. I've made some shop drawings for the shop that my dad works for using paint, Photoshop, and illustrator. For the past 6 months I've been learning to use Freecad and I'd say that I'm fairly competent in Sketch and Part Design. The best I can think of right now is keep practicing and building skill. Edit: Autocad is too expensive, but I have used Autodesk Maya and 3DS Max.
