His favorite software is AutoCAD. He likes the filter command most, and likes to use it to search any object in a sheet easily.
A few of his favorite projects are as follows:
He worked on a project for an Institute in Taiwan for twelve months on AutoCAD. His role involved preparation of all general arrangement and rebar shop drawings, preparation of site plan, survey layout and scheme with coordinates.
The challenge was to maintain and control the documents of drawings and submission to the client, which he successfully carried out.
For another project, he worked for commando facilities in Afghanistan. He worked for three months on AutoCAD. His role included drafting in CAD, electric light plans, telecommunications networks, automatic fire detection systems and HVAC fittings plans. He was involved in designing a site with required buildings.
He worked for a Project on architectural plans, elevations and sections. He designed using AutoCAD 2000. The role involved editing and finalizing.
He worked on a project for a company in Germany where he had to design using Auto CAD 2000. His role included editing and finalizing. This was an architectural project consisting of floor plans, elevations and sections. He processed these drawings indicating walls, windows, and doors. The text was designed in German. The layer names for the objects were also in German. He also processed room-polygons to easily find an area by using AutoCAD List command.
For a project in Parcel Mapping (GIS), he worked for a client from Italy. He designed using AutoCAD. His role involved editing and finalizing. He was involved in the preparation of parcels, roads and water bodies. The drawing were converted from image format to vector format. He designed using AutoCAD MAP 2004 and Wagis2002. He performed the conversion, editing and finalizing.
He has worked on a project for San Antonio Water System for two months. He was involved in drafting with a team. He prepared overview sheets, plans, sections, cross sections, longitudinal sections of sewer line in AutoCAD and Civil 3D.

Velauthan is a mechanical engineer. He has been working on HVAC CAD-based design services for architects and builders of commercial base buildings. He provides consultation, planning and design services for HVAC CAD.
He has worked on CAD-based projects for an Indian bank, a Canadian company that develops and sells enterprise information management software and an American conglomerate. The projects he has been working on involved concepts of interior layout and ceiling work. He is competent in handling projects based on HVAC CAD-based services including preparation of plans, sections and schematics of HVAC services. This includes chiller plant layout, ducting layout, piping layouts, detailing of plant rooms with necessary sections.
The most significant challenge for him has been the design of HVAC ducting layouts in such a way that they remain intact throughout the gradual development and the ceiling layout. While working on CAD-based projects he prepares HVAC CAD-based detailed drawings for ducting, piping and schematics.
AutoCAD has been his primary tool for producing drawings since his college days. He has also been competent in the use of Autodesk Revit since he began his career.
He travels extensively for work and discusses projects with clients face-to-face. He also communicates with them via email, TeamViewer, GoToMeeting, BlueJeans and Skype.

D. Bryson began work in machining and metalworking in Canada in 1981, becoming a world recognized journeyman tool and die maker in 1985. Re-entering the workforce as a CAD designer, he worked his way up to Senior Mechanical Engineer in a leading microwave radio company. He shares recognition in two patents relating to his design work of microwave radios. His previous hands-on metalworking experience has benefitted him greatly in his design career, where he continues to design and develop innovative yet simple-to-manufacture parts and assemblies. Familiar with all aspects of manufacturing including precision machining and grinding, stamping, die casting and welding. He is an expert in Solid Works and AutoCAD, including import and export of the many other software platforms in the marketplace.
My clients are varied. My background is in metalworking and mechanical CAD, both 2D & 3D. I have worked on very complicated mechanical assemblies and manufacturing drawings for the microwave industry, the semi-conductor industry, the nuclear industry and just the manufacturing industry in general. I have also worked with architectural CAD and have a client in the low voltage retrofit industry whose major customers are school districts and hospitals. They upgrade security systems and classroom technology. I have done both 2D drawings and 3D renderings for them. I have another client that installs automatic car wash systems and I do all their installation drawings. I have another client for whom I do RV park layouts. Finally, I have created drawings for individuals to submit with patent applications.
The most interesting project I worked on was a proprietary mechanical system that I can’t even talk about since the patent application is still pending. It had many small mechanical assemblies and a very large final assembly. All the work was in 3D. It will be interesting to see it actually come to fruition and know I was a part of it. I had to research many new to the market components that went into the assembly, create 3D models of them and integrate them correctly.
My favorite tool is Solid Works. With my mechanical background, it is the most versatile software available that ties part modeling, assemblies and drawings all together parametrically. I can’t imagine doing the work I do today on a drawing board with a pencil. A week’s work would take a year!
I have talked to all my clients many times over the last 2 years, thinking that they were bringing their CAD requirement in-house since I had shown a significant decrease in business from all of them. This was not the case. It is simply a slowdown in all industries. If anything, they have laid off their own full time people and are still planning on outsourcing the majority of their CAD work.
I have always been good at time management and servicing several clients on several projects at the same time. I have never missed a deadline or had an unhappy client. With a home office, I have the flexibility to work any hours required to get the job done.
I have been involved in many remote meetings as an observer but have not yet had the necessity to launch my own meeting.

J. Simmons has, for the last three years, worked on electrical and electronic devices for Lockheed Martin IS&GS in Goodyear, Arizona, where he has been able to refresh previous experience obtained in electronic packaging. Mr. Simmons has twenty-seven years experience in aircraft modification design, twenty-one of which were with various Lockheed Martin aircraft facilities. During this time, he was awarded a patent as the sole inventor of a Foreign Object Deflector developed for the belly of a C-130 Special Forces airframe. Much of his career involved installation of avionic systems, a design discipline that can involve creative methods of structural support and spatial utilization to get the shortest electrical lines possible for some applications. Mr. Simmons received a Bachelor of Science Degree from Southern Illinois University in 1971. His major was Mass communications, with a minor in art. He started in the aircraft design field at Evergreen Air Center in Arizona where he started as a draftsman in 1979. By 1985 when he left for another opportunity, he was Department Head of Engineering, and he had composed the drafting room manual, and investigated and chose the computer-aided drafting system in 1984.
