CAD TOPICS

The goal of cad topics is to act as an informational resource to educate casual readers and potential clients to the various aspects of cad drafting and cad drawing in general terms. In order to satisfy this objective, this section has been separated  into two categories: professionals and non-professionals.

Professional Category

The Professional Category is for the people in the construction industry such as architects, engineers, contractors, homebuilders, etc. The focus of this category will deal with news and articles in the construction industry. This section will also be a resource for professional development of cad drafting skills and techniques.

Non-Professional Category

The non-professional category will deal with the individual seeking to learn more about cad drafting, cad drawing and drafting in general terms. The focus primarily deals with foundational principles and applications to cad drafting-cad drawing and technical drawing in the architectural and engineering industry.

Although the following articles are separated into the stated categories, we are not suggesting that valuable information cannot be discovered by professionals in the non-professional category and vise-versa. We, therefore, encourage cross evaluations and readings.
