RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CAD VS Drafting Table Re: Names

I think it depends on the part and if it for an assy or not (degree of
accuracy needed).

I do drafting/designing and 3D solid modeling for living (Pro/E) and I still
sketch out parts on paper once in a while at work to get the preliminary
idea down or to get a real quick price quote on a part . At home I have
AutoCAD but since I'm not very proficient at it anymore I find my home
projects get drawn out on paper.

The hand drawings don't have to be quality drawings, they just have to give
you the general idea. I think by making rough sketches you can get a feel
for how you will make the part and set it up.
