Organization leads to Proficiency and Productivity

What is Drafting?

The discipline of composing technical drawings, including construction drawings such as plans, elevations, sections, and details, visually communicates how something is constructed or functions. With the advent of computer-aided drafting, this process enhances drafting productivity by allowing for greater precision and efficiency in creating these essential visuals.

What is AutoCAD?

The database for the geometric position in the Cartesian coordinate system plays a crucial role in computer-aided drafting, enhancing the efficiency of creating construction drawings and improving overall drafting productivity.

Blueprint Reading - The Language of Plans

The most crucial item to learn when striving for drafting productivity is having the ability to read, interpret, and then put together a set of construction drawings (CD's). Understanding what is required on each sheet, being clear, clean, and concise, and at times being overly redundant can help avoid interruptions and reduce the number of ASI's, RFI's, change orders, and other questions that arise during the pricing, bidding, permit, and construction phases. Mastering computer-aided drafting can significantly enhance this process.

Typing and the Musical Keyboard

In the production of construction drawings, you will encounter General Notes, Keys Notes, Sheet Notes, Details Notes, and various other text. Learning to type efficiently, rather than relying on the find-and-peck method, can significantly enhance your drafting productivity. Achieving just 30+ words a minute will begin to set you apart from others in the field. 


Furthermore, mastering the keyboard layout allows you to initiate two-handing drafting while using your mouse or trackball of choice, elevating your skills to another level. Navigating AutoCAD through keyboard commands is the fastest way to boost your productivity in computer-aided drafting. When you effectively combine keyboard use with your mouse or trackball, you create a harmonious workflow that keeps you in sync with your drafting tasks.
