It seems that many people do not realize that these are two very different skills. This would include people who use CAD in their day jobs and people who manage people who use CAD in their day jobs. Knowing how to use a CAD program is analogous to knowing how to use a word processor. Being able to design well is analogous to being able to write like Shakespeare. It is probably more important to identify and develop team members who can design well.


made correction to analogy
