I am a student at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online. I am pursuing my Bachelors in Interior Design. My upcoming assignment calls for me to interview an expert in AutoCAD, whether an architect, engineer, designer, etc. Is there anyone that would be so kind as to let me interview them online? Hopefully somebody out there will help me. Thanks. Questions are below.
Name, location, and profession of the person.
Q1: When do you use CAD in the production process (e.g. preliminary design, design development, etc.)?
Q2: What types of standardization do you use?
Q3: What are the advantages or disadvantages that CAD brings to your practice?
Q4: Can AutoCAD be used as effectively for designing as it is used for reading construction documents? Ask the interviewee to provide logical examples to support your answer.
Q5: Do you use Modelspace and Paperspace? If so what are the advantages of doing this? If you did not use model space and paper space, what changes would have to be made to your drawings and what problems do you foresee if you have to go back and edit these?
If the interviewee does not use modelspace and paperspace identify why it is not used by his/her firm.
Q6: If the interviewee used modelspace and paperspace ask the following question: Since every AutoCAD drawing is usually created on a scale of 1:1, won't the scale hinder you as a designer in terms of sheet layout? Why or why not? Ask the interviewee to provide some examples.
If the interviewee does not use paperspace, then enquire how the firm plots for the various scales on each sheet.
