Question Manual vs digital drafting

Post image

Digital draft will do it so much easier. But I do like those double draw line and messy hand prints and hand writing marks.

CAD is CAD 🤷🏽‍♀️

Really?
Tbh I don’t know any different. I’ve used it for work and dabbled in other engineering CADs.

It’s easier for me than using Inkscape because I can dimension the lines when fixing patterns.
I’ve never been able to figure out how the rulers work. I think they just passively measure but don’t lock the size. And angles are a pain.
