An online service has been launched to help bring CAD draughters and clients together.

Any organisation that uses CAD resources, such as freelance designers and CAD bureaux, can use the resource with no transactional fees. Draughters can use the CADBID site to market themselves and bid for projects. They can register free for entry-level membership or enhance their onsite profile for a small annual fee. Clients can seek draughters to smooth peaks and troughs in workflow. They can search the database by particular skills and experience, software or location. Clients can also post project information and invite draughters to bid for the work. They have complete privacy unless they choose to contact a draughter. The site is at www.cadbid.co.uk
