I had a semester of manual drafting before we got into auto cad ( etch-a-sketch, as I liked to call it). The drafting instructor claimed to be retired CIA, he showed us how they could use 1 image and do the 3rd angle projections to make a full print of a building that they were interested in. It was kind of a neat process but I wouldn't have wanted to do it all day long.

I enjoy the 3D solid modeling when I get to do it, lately I've just been doing the annotations to drawings..

 

like you guys i learned drafting & blueprinting the original way. then learned the & different types of ISo's & spec reading in the field over the years.

never got into CAD. wanted to, but figured that far into my career there just wasnt any point. then auto CAD came out & all those other fancy programs they have now.

comes in handy for building things. houses, buildings, barns, guns, engines. if you can follow directions & paint by numbers? you can do a lot of cool things.

 

Best wishes.

Yeah had to do the CAD thing too. Hated every minute. Hand drawing was personal and had personality. LOL

I had to learn drafting in my Freshman year in college. No CAD being taught yet at that time. Now I draw using SolidWorks - or I should say drew. 3D is great for mechanical parts.
