Gentlemen - I am an "old guy" who learned piping in the "manually drawn" world. It is very true MOST of the statements on this thread. Being proficient on any CAD program does not make on a piping designer. The engineering industry has created the necessity for 3D design due to competition (both national & international). after 36 years of "old school manual design" I was forced to learn CAD. After 3 years on 1st AutoCad & later Bentley Auto Plant I will admit that I was wrong in my prior thoughts that I didn't need CAD. I now can do the same work in less than 50% of the time it would take me to "manually draw" & I find that a lot of things I hate to do (generate bom's, iso's, revisions to design parameters which force piping changes) are less time consuming & easier to incorporate. I can say to all the "old guys" that if I can do it anyone can for I am a hunt & peck keyboard guy. Bruce Raymond
