Computer-aided drafting or design software

Software & technology · O*NET

Computer-aided drafting or design software is a software tool tracked in the Computer aided design CAD software category of O*NET's Technology Skills file. It appears in the technology profile of 3 occupations that together employ about 671,130 workers, with a median wage of $62,970.

Across the occupations that use it, the work is 24th percentile for AI task-exposure (Low) — how much of what those jobs do overlaps with what today's AI can attempt. That measures the exposure of the work, not the value of the tool or any sign it is being replaced. See where every tool category sits →
