I think it's time to say "Hi"

Post by BertMv » Wed Oct 05, 2022 10:00 am

Hi

I already posted some questions, so I thought it time to introduce myself.
I recently decided to get back into my original job of draughtsman. I started working at an engineering firm straight out of school (1990/91) and I worked professionally with AutoCAD until 2012 when the company I worked for went belly-up and I got into webdesign.
Due (in part) to Corona I found myself without a job recently and got contacted by some old colleagues if I was interested in doing some drawing work on a freelance basis. Sometimes I get access to an AutoCAD license if the client provides it, but most don't care what program I use as long as I deliver in dwg-format. I looked at a lot of CAD programs but found QCAD to be the most promising to work with, at a very good price.

So here I am; an old dog trying to learn some new tricks :wink: I already found that some of my old ways of working don't translate 1:1 to QCAD but that's fine. All in all I think the program is great and I look forward to learning it.

My expertise is mainly Electric and Electronics but I dabble in Mechanics, Instrumentation and Architecture as well. My old employer was a multidisciplinairy engineering firm so I was lucky to work on a a big variety of projects. Drawing-standards are a big thing in the industry so I have most European (ISO) norms occupying a big part of my memory-space; if anyone has questions about that, feel free to ask.
