Project Summary
Whether working on historic monuments or new masterpieces, Robert Silman Associates’ 50-plus engineers and CAD drafters rely on AutoCAD LT software for drafting work. For example, the firm turned to AutoCAD LT for the drafting work on the Irish Hunger Memorial in New York. The striking structure memorializes the Great Irish Hunger of 1845-1852 while calling attention to the continuing problem of world hunger.

To begin its work on the Irish Hunger Memorial, the firm imported the design files provided by the architect into AutoCAD LT. The firm’s engineers and drafters then collaborated to draft suitable structural elements. Along the way, their efforts were aided by time-saving menu and interface customizations that the firm has incorporated into AutoCAD LT. Thanks to the software’s familiar AutoCAD interface AutoCAD LT also helps the firm save time on training new employees. And the firm’s menu and interface customizations allow new employees to get up to speed on the firm’s standards in record time.
