If you just need one drawing of something unique it is probably still fastest. But nobody needs one drawing of something unique. You often want to take your drawing and program some CNC (3d printer...) to build parts and CAD/CAM can do that much quicker. You often want more than one copy of the drawing reduced/enlarged. You often want to give different views to different people which CAD will just do with a few clicks. You often want to run analysis for various things (do the beams work, will the pipes carry the needed water...). Many more things modern CAD can just do and more things are being added - you just need to learn to use a computer. |

When I start I don’t know if its beams or walls or trusses or tensile fabric. I don’t know where the water comes from. I don’t know where it goes because I don’t know the shapes of things. Don’t know the form of the whole.
Sometimes computers are appropriate to the work. Sometimes they are not. I started learning CAD in 1989. My understanding of the work is different now.
