RE: Employment inquire

I bet it's difficult, if not impossible to find a piping design job that doesn't entail a strong CAD background these days.

One company I worked at do all their work now in 3D (AutoCAD/AutoPlant more specifically).. another company I worked at do ALL work in CAD (AutoCAD/Microstation). and the company I'm with now, actually DO still do manual drawings, but even the guy that does the most manual drawings only does them about 15-20% of his time.

My interaction with manual drawings has been to convert them to CAD format, so I can see that, in time, the manual drawing interaction will become less and less.

CAD is not the "perfect" tool, but it's still a very helpful one, and one that's been very relied upon..

I think if you're a very knowledgeable piper though, a company may not have a problem bringing you on and getting you acquainted with CAD. probably just so long as you have primitive knowledge at the minimum.

Subject: Re: [PipingDesign] Employment inquire

I STRONGLY recommend taking first a class on intro to computers, then a basic CAD class. After completing these classes, you find a company that would be
willing to train you.

Are there any jobs available these days for a piping designer that has no computer skills at all? I am thinking about getting back into the business after being out for 10 years.
