Remember when we all had to draw isometric views by hand?

I was cleaning out my old office in Tacoma and found a stack of my hand-drawn isometric sketches from 2008. Comparing that to just using the 3D rotate command in AutoCAD now... the difference is night and day. I used to spend half a day on a single view, and now I can generate a dozen in an hour. Anyone else still have their old manual drafting tools lying around?

Man, I found my old lead holder and it's wild. The grip felt so different, like you were actually carving the lines into the paper. I mean, the speed now is great but something about that physical pressure is totally gone.

Miss that real bite of the lead.

@hill.christopher is right, totally different from a stylus.
