The Evolution of Drafting

Pen and Paper

Historical drafters used boards and templates to produce rough sketches on paper and then refined them into more detailed versions. Highly exact drawings could be made using various tools, and these hand-drawn drafts have been trusted in the drafting business over the years. Like most disciplines, drafting has evolved through technology over the years. How, you ask?

CAD (Computer Aided Drafting)

The use of technology has allowed for improvements in the way activities are completed and things are produced. In order to be more accurate and efficient, projects may be finished using CAD (Computer Aided Drafting). There are a number of benefits to CAD, each of which you will explore in depth during your learning process.

Advantages of CAD
