I have to agree to a point....... I need to look to repeatability in designs.

All play ground equipment is on cad and I'm not about to make a mistake putting a concrete curb too close to a swing or slide.

Same goes with hardscapes, pavers hatch patterns are available from most manufactures. One time I had to show how we where going to install 1000 engraved pavers in a park try that by hand?

Simple things like notes are easy to put on screen and move them around. Same with plant lists and details that you use over and over.

Do we always want to use cad???? I don't always but it's nice at times to take a piece of trash and lay it over the drawing and make changes. This works well at meetings with park districts and board members.
