All of today's overreaching rules and regulations from zoning to building to energy codes does takes alot of the creative energy out of it. (I guess I am just burnt out)
Unfortunatly In many parts of the country today not having an RA or PE limits your options regardless of your design skills
Ok rant over and by the way there is nothing Auto about Autocad
Exactly my experience also, well said, whoever you are.
