Writing well? I've had to read engineering drawings for QC in a precision engineering shop working with critical industries. Screw grammar and style being undervalued. You get told to fuck off if you complain about spelling.
edit - there is a pathological aversion to updating a drawing, not because of the work, but because of the process. People will do almost anything to avoid having to get an update signed off.
- sixstringtheory 7y agoAssuming QC == quality control, I find that attitude highly ironic. Measure twice, cut once. Take the time to write carefully up front and proofread, before you submit it to a lengthy process.
- inflatableDodo 7y agoI think a lot of people doing the drawings are either dyslexic, or maybe just do not care. Also, engineering companies don't tend to have proofreaders. I can proofread, but learned quickly that I should not bother proofreading the drawings that came through. All it ever achieved was a torrent of abuse, combined with a flat refusal to even think about getting a new drawing issued.
