Amen Brother! But those cad drivers are cheaper by the hour than a really qualified designer. Besides you're only drawing little circles and lines. How hard can that be? (I actually had someone say that)
That's why there's those all encompassing notes of: 1. Beat to fit. 2. Paint to match. 3. FOOJ (figure out on job) That's all you need to know to make it work. Venting now and then is a good thing. ;) Craig L.

If your a good designer you will take pride in your work no matter what program you use. All programs have little quirks you just have to learn the best way to get around some of them and also let the programmer know if it is a real problem. We all have our favorite programs and anybody that is going to survive in this business has to be open minded about them all. Another big problem I see is Cad trained people not having a clue what they are trying to design as they have had no experience with sprinkler systems but are hired because they know Cad and they think they know it all. As they say garbage in garbage out. Sorry just venting on that last note.
