Most often called CADD (computer-aided drafting and design) specialists, mechanical drafters utilize programs to design and develop a variety of plans. These plans may be used to design buildings or mechanical objects such as medical equipment or day to day items such as stoves or other appliances. Some positions may focus on robotics or toy design but most often the design will be focused on the moving parts and its applications.
Many mechanical drafters focus on mechanical parts that are used in industries like automotive, machinery or other tools. They make design the dimensions, additional parts necessary and function when drafting plans for new equipment. Within the field of mechanical drafting are specialized positions that may focus on military mechanical design, aeronautic drafting or marine mechanics. This job often requires long hours in front of a computer and can be a sedentary position in many cases.
Entry level mechanical drafters may work as an assistant or under supervision until they gain more job experience. In some positions they make work as part of a team or on their own. Higher level drafters may lead teams or do the supervising. People skills are important to build as many mechanical drafters have to interact with customers or report to other teams and share information.
Average salaries for mechanical drafters are around $39,000 annually with some earning over $43,000 per year. Specialized mechanical drafters may earn more based on experience and education or work on a per-contract basis. Often mechanical drafters may find employment within large industries or development firms. Very experienced drafters may earn over $63,000 annually.
Training for mechanical drafters is at minimum a two year process on top of a high school diploma or equivalent. Often a four year degree or training is preferred. Specialized fields may require additional training or experience. Vocational schools offer specialized training and the American Design Drafting Association offers certification for drafters that tests on basic drafting concepts.

What is Ambiguity in contract against drafter?
Ambiguity in a contract happens when there is a term, or set of terms, that are not defined, that can be construed to have more than one meaning (hence the ambiguity in the contract). When this happens, the ambiguity is construed against the drafter of the contract since it was the party that drafted the contract. The drafter of the contract had the opportunity to define each of the terms in the contract before presenting it to the other party to execute. The person agreeing to the contract that is not the drafter often does not have the ability to alter the contractual terms or definitions contained in the contract. Further, the drafter of the contract often is the "savvy business person" or "savvy business entity" that use contracts all the time. To get around this, often a drafter will put a section in the contract that states that each party to the contract assisted in drafting the contract, which will help the drafter make the argument that the potential for an ambiguity being construed against the drafter is eliminated.
