I myself can't use CAD but just wanted to know because I think it is much more fun and artistic. (maybe I'm just the weird mechanic).

You'll hate paper drafting even more then, there's no ctrl x, ctrl v, ctrl c, etc etc on paper. Drawings can be done once and then auto update whenever design changes are made to the part files. Nearly everything about CAD makes the design and drafting process faster, easier and less tedious. That's the whole point of CAD.TheQuietOne said:Plus working all those hours putting and erasing even the smallest details for hours on a screen sounds tedious and boring (boring as in a hole in my brain!)
If your intention is to kill time then I guess paper is better.TheQuietOne said:hand drawing is a good time killer though
Some people prefer hand-drawing because it allows for more creativity and customization. It also does not require expensive software or equipment.
One disadvantage of CAD is the learning curve and time it takes to become proficient in the software. It also requires a computer and specialized training, which may not be accessible to everyone.
While CAD has become the standard in many industries, hand-drawing still has its place. It can be useful for quick sketches, brainstorming, and communicating ideas visually.
Industries such as fashion design, architecture, and art still heavily use hand-drawn schematics. It is also common in smaller businesses or hobbyists who may not have access to CAD software.
CAD is generally more precise and can produce more accurate and detailed schematics. However, skilled hand-drawers can also produce accurate and detailed drawings with practice and precision.
