    my boss wants me to put together some sort of tests for new hires. anyone
    ever take a drafting test? I think he is thinking about some sort of written
    test or maybe a combination of that & a hands on CAD test.

    I started to write one and am really noticing how hard it is since about
    everything on CAD can be done in many different ways, not really a right way
    of a wrong way.. anyone offer any help????
    thanks,
    Rob

  2. I've done 2 tests before. One was draw a floor plan from a sketch (was
    working in a architects office) The other was to draw a square, 2 edges
    chamfered and filleted. Inside the square draw a circle, inside the circle
    draw a triangle. Add some text, line types, colours and hatching. All the
    show that you knew the basic comands and could draw. We had one chap say he
    couldnt do it. The reason being he was used to ACad 2000 and we were using
    2004. He said 2000 was totally different!
    formatted.

    Did a test for Angus council once, on a machine with 2000LT installed, had a
    crap mouse and the snaps weren't working properly, someone else got the job
    but I figure they had it even before I had the interview. Still looking for
    that elusive draughting job, meanwhile back to getting my hands dirty fixing
    pressure washers.
