My cad manager and his team of techs are a bit miffed that you think detailers are obsolete! Unfortunately in todays world there is a short supply young engineers who want to develop their cad skills. We feel technicians are a very important part of the engineering team and their training...
We have recently employed a number of 'CAD Techicians' but I would call them CAD operators as they have little engineering knowledge. Does anyone know of some short courses we could send them on to learn the basics of construction and detailing?
