90 people here, no CAD manager at all. Smoothest operation ever worked in.
Also, nobody has a title here.

About a dozen here. I know of 3-300. Funny thing is that the 300 seat one I
know the CAD Manager is part time and doesn't even line on that coast.

3 on a good day or about 25K per drafter. They can't afford me at a really BIG place. LOL!

Let's see 25 X 300 = 75... hey WOW! I could use that....

So who do the majority of people run to when they are having a problem
with cad? Who sets up standards or does everyone just draw at their own
whim creating random layers as they go?

Whoever this person (or people) is would be your cad manager - just with
no title.

There is a layer system setup and we use it, not that difficult. The 1 IT
person manages all the software and hardware. Problems are extremely rare.

so who setup the layer system? and for that all the other custom stuff your
office uses? If you have no titles then why do you label the 1 person as IT
person?

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.

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.

" If you accomplished an engineering degree, we think you can read."

Oh now is a good one, that's like saying if you got a arch or eng degree we
think can run cad. So anyone at anytime can add layers, delete layers? that
is insane. If it works for you more power to you but man that is insane.
