design Beginner

[Guoppi]

Good evening to all,

I'm a 21-year-old geometra guy who in a few months will have to get the activation exam.
Currently my main task is to draw what the structural engineer designs and exports to .dxf from dolmen as executions of scaffolds, metal sheds etc.
If you want to become a modest structural designer, do you think it's the case that you stay fixed on autocad and deepen it or move on something else?

My main goal would be to learn a good method of work that shortens my production times and improves my design skills but the basic knowledge of autocad fans understand that they are not enough, in addition to my commitment and precision that I put on.. also because the boss is one who claims:wink:

thank you in advance, I hope to share in the future something with you all of the forum!!

use what passes the convent and deepen that. if in the office they only have autocad tries to become faster and productive with that

If you have the chance, it will deepen sw like tekla.
Good job!

learn well the design process of your study, it will allow you to learn the necessary notions on construction. Moreover autocad is an indispensable tool, it is necessary to know it more than well.

but it is also true that technology has evolved, although 95% of people work like you, I understand, there are better design systems, perhaps integrating a bim system.
for example joining revit + robot + advance steel, but there are many other combinations.
to learn these programs you should work at a studio that uses them well, these are very few for my experience.

Alternatively you take a course that costs from 1'000 euros up, then you can't use the program to forget it and you didn't use it. in fact you can't use the student versions if you have finished the course of studies.

then there is who learns using pirate versions, but the law says it is crime so you can not do

I will see then to learn it well! Maybe with some nice autocad manual and then you'll see! for the courses I should have done one of autocad but they did not start it for lack of funds:

beautiful tekla :biggrin: thank you for the advice and all of you!!

Yes, but tekla is recommended for metal construction. If you go to c.a. with tekla you're doing little.
rather than a specific program, deepen organizational aspects of work and charts for information transfer.
care well the aspects of graphic clarity, because to someone who may be cold at the 12th scaffold, it is not pleasure to open the table and not be able to read the numeral well because too small or too fat. Let's figure out if you take a ruler to measure something you didn't quote. so too much information because they mess you up, or few that are lacking.
care also well the pre assembly part. if you indicate that the tot of a bar is 6,20m and instead it is 6,30, the omino will notice at the end of the folds (it will remain a piece) and will throw away the iron now unusable.

I recommended tekla because he wrote:

if you then make the magutt....

I'm sorry I'm late to answer.

I really like steel. If you had any advice to extend my knowledge (as crystal has rightly said) or to direct me in this area of the designer, in this area, I would be grateful (without leaving the ca).

the engineer cares us so much about the graphics and comprehensibility of the elaborates that I do so much that we often change the parameters of thicknesses and lines in the design cotext to approach the best result. an external person could even consider it excessive attention.. But I'm fine if I want to be a designer. . Good.
if the graphics of tekla allow me to have, outside of precision, good graphics, customizable well come:biggrin:

study and examinations allowing me to undertake this:biggrin:! as always thanks for your availability! !
