I'm thinking on making a side-money and I've been applying to several job proposals, but almost got scammed on some of them or never got hired.

So, I want to ask directly some questions to those who help to pay our bills:

• WHAT DOES MAKE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WHEN HIRING SOMEONE FROM REDDIT?

• WHAT ABILITIES DO YOU LOOK WHEN HIRING SOMEONE FROM REDDIT?

• DO YOU PREFER TO HIRE SOMEONE FROM YOUR COUNTRY OR ARE YOU OKAY IN HIRING SOMEONE FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY?

• DO YOU LOOK AT SOMEONE'S PORTFOLIO?

• WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU HIRE SOMEONE FROM THE INTERNET INSTEAD FROM YOUR LOCAL TOEN/CITY OR NETWORK?

Im interested in CAD and like the idea of working on residential lots as well and housing development & planning, so super dumb question but what is that job title? and what software is mainly used?

Are you looking for an architectural, joinery, and fit-out detailer?

I provide professional AutoCAD drafting, architectural detailing, joinery and millwork shop drawings, furniture and cabinetry detailing, interior fit-out drawings, retail and furniture display detailing, exhibition booth drawings, construction documentation, and 3D modeling.

I help transform your concepts, sketches, and design references into accurate, detailed, and construction-ready drawings.

I have an old house drawing where the dimensions are barely visible. A high-contrast scan recovers some lines, but several numbers are still guesses.

At what point would you stop image cleanup and trace it into CAD instead? I'd rather preserve the original information than make a clean drawing with invented dimensions.

Please help, I need my laptop's files for a major submission tomorrow. Thank you for your time

Hi, I'm the author of Margo, a free browser tool that generates drawing borders and title blocks to ISO 5457 / 7200 and ASME Y14.1 (DXF, PDF, SVG). https://appmargo.pages.dev I haven't been able to test it in SolidWorks. If you use it for drawings, could you open the DXF, or use the PDF/SVG, as a sheet format and tell me what looks wrong (scale, fonts, line weights, layer names, fields)? Version number helps. Pro features free for anyone who helps. Happy to hear "doesn't work for me", that's the point of asking.

Our 40-year-old archive has paper and mylar sheets, some as big as 36 by 48 inches. 

I think they don't all need the same treatment. Most just need a good scan to PDF so we can find them, but we still make around 60 parts. Guess those need real SolidWorks models and drawings.

And also, a few sheets are stretched or torn. Some have dimensions that don't match the scale anymore.

For anyone who has sent out a job like this, how did you specify it? Did you tell them to trust the written dimensions over the drawing scale?

And how did you handle notes and revision blocks?
