I manage 16 peeps their pc's, laptop's, plotters, printers, misc devices, 2
servers, backups, all software, standards, archives, supplies, e-mail, FTP,
remote access, anti-virus, anti-spam, training, 79Gig of data and counting,
62,457 files and counting in 6,144 folders and counting. If you think that
this kind of stuff does not need to be managed you are nuts. And that is
only our dept.. I do not deal with the other 11 servers etc... Oh by the
way I don't do windows.

That's my point, there really is no justification for a CAD manager in most
companies.
The layers were compiled over the years until all the users were happy with
what was being used. No need for updating. If you need to add a misc.
layer, then do it.
Why in the world would anybody need training on using layers? If you
accomplished an engineering degree, we think you can read.

Who trains you to use the layer system? Who put it into place? Who
maintains it (There is no system that never needs updating)?
Or does your company use a system that came from the heavens one day,
after years of wandering the desert, stamped on golden tablets that all
90 cad users miraculously instantly understand.
From what I've read so far it sounds like your IT Manager IS your CAD
Manager.
