Hello,
My background is as an engineer and drafter, not a surveyor. Therefore:
When a suveyor is hired to plot the building perimeter and curbline of a building located on the corner of a street intersection, how many points along the curb corner does he document?
For this question I'm...
Hello,
Does anyone know of a good summary diagram for an ADA compliant bathroom in a highrise office building in NYC? I believe it would have to comply with ANSI A117.1?

Hi All,
I run a drafting service business in NYC, and up until this point I've been doing all the work myself as a no-employee sole proprietor. Now however I've run across a few larger projects to bid, and would need to hire a CAD Technician employee in order to complete the projects. I would...
Hi All,
I live in NYC where there are seemingly an endless amount of building retrofits happening. There have been so many times that I've seen a few story tall dilapidated masonry building get gutted, repaired, and refit for a new use. The process is really wonderful. My question is this...
Hi,
How much do you think it'd cost to have a crude land survey done of a 337,000sf plot of land in NYC? It is an L shaped property, with 8 bldgs on it. All that is needed is the property corners and the bldg corners.
Thanks,
Brian
Hi All,
Does anyone know where I can download some Construction Vehicle blocks? Preferably free, but if the library is good then the cost may be worth it. At this point I'm looking for a front end loader. ...Thank you.

Here is my scenario. I'm an engineering graduate who did structural engineering for a few years, but never tested for my PE. I hit job cutbacks and eventually decided to do AutoCAD Drafting to earn a living. I service different Engs, Archs, Int Dgns, and etc, which has provoked this question...
Help! I run AutoCAD 2007, and a client of mine is sending me .dgn files because he runs Microstation. I was told that AutoCAD 2009 can now open .dgn files, but that doesn't help me because I just bought 2007 last year. Does anyone know how I can convert a .dgn file to a .dwg file? (I also...
Hello, I run AutoCAD 2007 and recently met a local land surveyor. He has a data file of survey points, in the form of a text file, and would like for me to get the points input into an AutoCAD file. Help! I think there exist stand alone programs that can do this for me, so is there anyone out...
Hello: Does anyone know where I can get free or reproducible street maps for the use of creating Site plans or Plot plans for my local Department of Buildings (for construction projects, drafted in AutoCAD)? I want to know if there is a better way to do it than to buy a Hagstrom map and then...
Hi: Does anyone know of free ACAD tutorials?
I've used ACAD from R13 to release 2002. Now I'm trying to get re-aquainted with ACAD by using ACAD 2007 on my PC (demo version). Well, I remember the drafting basics, but never have had familiarity with setting a dwg up from scratch. Does anyone...
Does a Structural Engineer have the right NOT to follow a PORTION of any given applicable Design Standard / Code (AISC ASD for instance, in steel design), if he doesn't want to (because it is very detailed and time consuming)?
I know that the Design Standards (AASHTO, ACI, ASD, ASCE, IBC)...
