Oh wow, I was doing some structural detailing work. I’ve dealt with survey data just for laying out structures (including once in a national park, which… Never again) and that was bad enough! I can’t imagine using AutoCAD in a context where GIS would be more appropriate (which I am very broadly familiar with from my degree, that I did after resigning from my designer gig)
Yeah, we were doing large scale FTTH network design and tracking each fiber with a spreadsheet until I wrote some auto routing extensions lol. It saved the company and made everyone about 50x more productive, but pay only went up moderately, $16/hr - $25/hr
This is MUCH easier to do in ArcGIS since we can directly pull in county data for permitting now
