What do you use AutoCAD for?

[BushDog1]

I use AutoCAD 2005 (started on R12) to design/draw and reverse engineer big-rig truck exhaust systems and components (2.5" dia. - 7" dia. tubing) and to design machine replacement parts and add-ons to our existing production machines in the shop. Everything is 2D, I have only messed around twice with 3D..... so far. (I'm waiting for Autodesk to feel sorry for me and send me a free upgrade to Inventor!)

you know, I don't remember how I voted... but, I guess I didn't make any comments...

probably 'other', I don't know...

i use vanilla acad and/or map for facilities management...

I update our composite architectural and mepfp's with contractor 'as-builts'

lots of layer translate, layer merge, and exploding blocks (because they're inserted on layers they aren't drawn on and don't turn on/off properly because of it... ~snore~)

I use access almost as much as autocad to keep up with the past projects (approx. 75,000 blueprints dating back to 1912, and approx. 50,000 cad files dating back to 1995, so far... quite a few others not entered into db yet, and at least 15% of our campus under reno every year...)

oh, I also do fruity stuff like making a pretty little map of the campus so all of the overweight dr.s and nurses are motivated to walk around and know how far they've gone before they can order another latte' and cheese fries...

I didn't have to vote. I stated that I had already voted?!?!? Really?

We do 2D w/ vanilla acad. Transmission and Distribution substation design and Transmission Line design. This is my regular job.

Night time job is power, lighting, mechanical, special systems, nurse center, & fire alarm systems.

I use ACAD 2K4...
I design Baggage Handling Systems for Airports, most of my designs have been implemented in JFK and Newark, but I have also done work, in either a design function, or punchlisting at Logan in Boston, Raliegh Durham, Detroit, Dallas, Houston, Tampa, Miami, Syracuse...along with international work as well...
Basically I design the conveyor systems which takes your baggage from the ticket counters, and/or curbside areas, transports them via the conveyors, through the TSA screening areas, and out to the associated sort piers, or make up devices...and also the inbound systems, including the baggage claim areas....Federal inspection areas, etc...

I believe this poll was started last fall... I JUST noticed that once you vote in a poll, one of the options is italicized so you can see which one you voted for???

I teach in the Computer Aided Drafting and Design Technology program at a State University so we use ACAD and other CAD packages for just about everything from architectural work to mechanical work to technical illustration.

I use it for Civil work mainly subdivisions. I think it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Because I've also used microstation, what an unuser friendly program.

[scwegner]

Plain old vanilla 2000i for 2D architectural -residential remodelling to be exact. Occasionally they let me play and do some 3D perspectives and rendering, but with four designers and one draftsman, I'm usually too busy. I've worked with vanilla 2002 and ADT 2002 and I've played around on my own with Revit so I feel like I'm stuck in the stone age.

Well in that case I voted "other".
I so do not remember voting on this. Maybe it was that last
