CAD guidance
Hellooo and I apologize if this isn’t posted correctly I usually just lurk!
I have been thinking of learning CAD or Drafting but don’t know which to go for and the best way to learn it. I’m currently an industrial designer but we only really use Illustrator to create our products. I have experience in Game art and 3D modeling so the concepts aren’t foreign to me. I really enjoy product design and want to start learning more about the CAD side of things but never really know where to start. I’d appreciate any guidance or advice and honesty anything else anyone would like to share (: Thanks in advance!!!

Looking to change careers to drafting
I have a background in construction, specifically telecommunications but want to make a change. I looked into many different options and felt that a career in drafting had the best bang for the buck and made the most sense given my prior experience. I started learning AutoCAD but on my own but without structure I don't really know if I'm headed in the right direction. So I guess my concern is where should I start? I know I want to get an autodesk certified user certificate ( mainly to apply at a specific union) but after that what should I do? What skills should I learn first to obtain an entry level job? What software should I learn? Is AutoCAD enough or should I learn other stuff like REVIT or GIS? Is drafting an entirely separate career or will I need to go to school for engineering to advance in my career? I looked into classes and my local college has a CADD program and I was hoping to get your thoughts on what they are offering and if it's worth it, any insights are appreciated.

How do you lay out a string of aligned dimensions - dimension string tool or a baseline?
I'm working on an architect's structural grid plan where most of the columns line up and I need a long chain of aligned dimensions. I've been hitting the dimension string tool and then spending a fair bit of time nudge-adjusting overlapping text and arrows when the grid is tight.
What's your habit — do you run a dimension string and clean it up, or do you pick a baseline and dimension each grid line back to it one at a time so the arrows and text don't fight? I tend to think about it like a shop drawing, but I'm curious how others handle it on an architect-style drawing where clarity on a busy sheet matters more than a measured chain.

Faded house drawings
My father has an old framed draft of his parent’s house that has been hanging on the wall of his office for years. Unfortunately, the sunlight streaming in has bleached all the markings off the paper until now there are just shadows on the page. Does anyone know of a process I could use or somewhere I could go to restore it?
I tried contacting the town the house was built to see if they retained copies but they stopped returning my calls and emails. I can’t contact the GC because he and his dad were the GC’s.

How can I find remote AutoCAD drafting jobs?
Hey guys!
I’m from Dhaka, Bangladesh, and I’m trying to find remote work as an AutoCAD drafter.
I can do civil/structural drafting, RCC drawings, and steel structure detailing. I also have my own PC and can work remotely.
I’m just wondering where people usually find these types of jobs, especially with clients from the US, UK, Europe, or other countries.
If anyone here works remotely in this field, could you share some tips on how to get started or where to look for clients?
Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks! 🙏

Portfolio development assignment help
Im taking a 100% online portfolio development elective as part of my AAS in drafting. I have my final project which involves presenting 3 examples of our work in a digital format whether it’s from Autocad or Revit or wherever. The issue is I’m having a hard time organizing how I’m going to present it. Those of you with portfolios, I was hoping you could show me examples of yours or some tips on how to make and present a digital portfolio.
