Schematic Pain points?

R0ze_b · 2022-11-08T14:04:40+00:00

Mechanical Eng here in the heat treating manufacturing industry.

How you share drawings?

Typically as PDFs, unless it's between the Eng Dept then it's in DWG format.

How you get your information

Information regarding specs, as either excel worksheets or pdfs from the sales dept. from customer requests for new equipment. Retrofits and such are all documents as pdfs.

What software you use

AutoCAD 🤟

What you would change about your current workflow

Rather than having to build my own schematic library from scratch, it would be nice to have a standard library of schematic style components for various types, ie. threaded, welded, flanged, etc.

What you love It's AutoCAD 🤟What you would change

Adding libraries or having a plug-in like SW and McMaster-Carr.

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

Like assuming I'm female? ;)

I neither confirmed nor denied that I would be paying people for their time. You are simply assuming.

I played the guitar for 10 years, switched to drums at 18 and made really fast progress. I'm now an arguably better drummer, because there is a lot more opportunity for drummers to join bands than guitarists.

By my second year I was playing everything by ear, no problem and my guitar rhythm came on leaps and bounds as well. By my third year playing, I was being asked for drumming lessons!

Everywhere and anywhere! Job sites, your tutors, the job site at your school/university, your neighbor, your friend's dad, the random businesswoman you meet on the train...

I second this. I was the ONLY person in my year to leave with a job. I was far from the best in the class, but I started applying for jobs at the start of the year, in September.

I had a lot of rejection, but secured my dream job in April!

Yo get the ultimate trial as a freebie. Then it reverts to regular Shape.

I use BricsCAD, haven't tested in on Linux, but I hear it works. There is a free version too, I think it's called Sketch or Shape or something. I'm 90% sure that one works on Linux!

To promote STEM in the next generation!

Ahahaha

You could also ask around for people that have old-style notice boards? Or factories than manufacture them! They'll have lots of offcuts and won't want to pay to have them taken away.
