In my company, I'm the closest thing to a full-time CAD tech. A few engineers in our other offices know just enough ACAD to be dangerous. (Fortunately, they're not using Civil-3D.) I cringe when they send me their work to finish.
In two separate occasions, other engineers have been impressed and amazed with plan & profile drawings I've worked up using Civil-3D. They ask about it; how do I explain the differences in Civil-3D from AutoCAD, and that it's still the same base package?
