To get the ball rolling, I'll share my personal experience. When I was studying engineering, we had to do a load of AutoCAD drawing. I found it a nightmare because you constantly had to type commands like "snap 10", "fillet radius 20", "fillet radius 10" etc.

It's worse because you have to move your right hand back and forth between typing commands on the keyboard and clicking the mouse.

At the time, I programmed an Arduino with a lot of the common pieces of text I was typing, and then wired the Arduino to a keypad so I could press a key and get it to type the text for me.

Have you had a similar problem in your engineering job? If so, how did you try to solve it?
