Starting with pencil on vellum, he began learning HVAC and Plumbing drafting and design in the early 1980s.Time spent in the field, creating submittals, shop drawings, RFIs and as-builts prepared him for this next employer, a Mechanical Engineering firm, where he learned HVAC and plumbing design under the wing of senior engineers..As times and technology changed, Jym was the first person in his company to begin using AutoCAD – back before Windows was created! Basic AutoCAD skills included sheet set management, block creation, title blocks and viewports. 2D turned to 3D and Jym followed along, building his skill set to include coordination, clash detection and resolution..By now, Jym was leading the CAD department for a large HVAC firm.
