Why AutoCAD

While drafters work in a number of specialties, the five most common specialization areas are as follows: mechanical, architectural, civil, electrical, and electronics.

  • Mechanical drafters prepare plans for machinery and mechanical devices.
  • Architectural drafters draw up plans for residential and commercial buildings.
  • Civil drafters draw up plans for use in the design and building of roadways, bridges, sewer systems, and other major projects.
  • Electrical drafters work with electricians to prepare diagrams of wiring electrical system layouts.
  • Electronics drafters also prepare wiring diagrams for use in the making, installing, and repairing of electronic gadgets.
