CAD Drafters turn engineering sketches into precise 2D construction drawings, mostly in AutoCAD. AutoCAD is still the default tool for 2D construction documentation, as-builts and drawing revisions. It is the most common entry point into remote CAD work because almost every design office keeps a legacy 2D drawing set alive alongside its BIM models.
