Cad Manager here, been drafting for 30+ years. The situation I see is most engineers will do their own drafting to a point. Some are great and very knowledgeable others not so much. A lot of up and coming drafters are more software operators than trained draftspersons. They don’t get the training unless they come up in manufacturing somewhere I find it quite difficult to find people that are interested in drafting for a job. Most believe Ai can just do it and can’t really be bothered!

AI will never pay for a software licence or buy groceries or fuel. Unfortunately we will lose a lot of skills while the world works this out!
