For those in the industry i hear the term 'Autocad monkey' come up quite often for new and up and comming designers. Is there any truth to that?

I tried to make it a picture sitting in a tree, but I am not that good with autocad.

[edit]^^^ nice monkey Mark!

A 'Cadmonkey' basically means someone employed to 'draft' under instruction - large companies (and some small) don't want their draftys to influence the design, so they treat them as a tool to turn the design into plan on paper.

It's a bit of a whinge imo, I believe that the best designs come from collaboration & discussion, although I can see how a (quality) architect or designer would be p!ssed with a grad employee that tries to change things or add their stamp.

There are stages where we - (designers/draftys) all have to switch off our brains & just "Cad something up", normally when converting info from a pdf or going through the motions putting standard info on the working drawings - re; repetitive work.
