I started to post this in the CAD forum but thought it may be better suited here and most of the threads in the CAD forum are talking over my head.
I'll preface this by saying I know zero about CAD, never used it and don't even know where to begin. I am interested in learning though.
What we are running into more of in our machinery moving business is complex jobs in very tight quarters. What I end up doing is scaling the plant layout on a piece of paper and taking measurements off that to develop a rigging plan that will work. I know some of my competitors are starting to use CAD. I'm sure CAD would make it much easier and less chance for mistakes but I know absolutely nothing about it. I guess what I'm looking for is pointers and any info on how to get started.
