Since 1990, after being on the board for a year or so, I've used Solidworks, ProE, Unigraphics (now called NX), Microstation, and a handful of other CAD programs like BrisCad, but for this job I'm on vanilla AutoCad. It's just easier to keep things simple for what I do here as far as CAD work goes. I helped to start the company 8 years ago, and setup the CAD department on a shoestring budget. I still keep things very low cost, which is why we're still in business. Everything I design is done in 3D first, then I pull the solid profiles, and work them into fabrication drawings all in AutoCad. I package everything up in PDF form for the clients. That's just part of my job here though. I also do some programming in Lisp/.NET for some automation processes in AutoCad. I guess my formal title would be CAD Manager/IT Manager/Marketing Manager, and all around swiss army knife of the company. I do all of the proposals, fabrication drawings, technical drawings, patent drawings, company standardization's, logo's, magazine ads, brochures, websites, trade show banners, IT purchasing, IT consulting, and PC repairs.
Here's a sample of something recent. I can't really divulge anything about this other than a picture:
I am one busy mofo, so letting me go would eliminate quite a few jobs all at once. Hope you're safe there at your job though, Chula man.
