I know this site is still in its infancy so many of you "Application Engineers" may not get this but I'd like to ask a question anyhow. If you are a CAD Application Engineer, what exactly does that mean to you? What are your duties specifically? I ask because I just accepted a job as an Application Engineer at a bigger company and I'm curious to know exactly what is expected of me.

 At my previous place of employment, where I was the IT Manager / CAD Manager / Database Developer (SQL) / Web Developer (ASP.NET), I had always told my fellow drafters that if I ever won the lottery my dream job would be to just create applications without the hassle of any of the other IT-related tasks. So when this new opportunity came along my resume matched what they were looking for to a tee.

 Going from ONE discipline (structural engineering) to a company where I will be responsible for supporting multi-disciplines I kind of get the feeling its going to overwhelm me. But I've always liked a good challenge so we'll see how it goes. 

Howdy,

  Ok, I do believe I am almost ready to unleash this badboy to the masses. I've put a lot of time into this site and I hope you enjoy using it as much as I have creating it for US!

  I got a question for ya, .. where do you go for your CAD info? Do you go to Forums, or RSS feeds from the different sites. 

  The goal of this site is to get YOU GUYS to share with us any sites/blogs/articles that you guys find interesting.

 Let see, how about the .. CREDITS:

        Without access to his source code and extremely knowledgeable support staff I would have had to outsource this site to India or something just to get the ball rolling.

     1and1.com (http://www.1and1.com)
        Without these guys I'd probably would have set this thing up on a 486 Thinkpad with no screen hooked up to an etch-a-sketch (I know that makes no sense). They have VERY, VERY competetive pricing on hostiing solutions.

     Wikipedia (come on you should know how to get there ..)
        I am pretty familiar with the big-dogs in the CAD industry but thanks to wiki-wiki-wikipedia I am now an expert in ALL-THINGS-CAD and stitching.  
 

So there you have it, I will try and keep this thing updated as best as I can, .. but no promises.

Enjoy,
Jose Guia
