Assuming equal proficiency with a drawing board and a CAD system, is
there any type of drawing that is suited to the manual process, as
opposed to the CAD process?
When trying to solve a fairly complex mechanical problem, the old
fashioned "scribbling on a napkin" is still about the best way to
quickly visusalize general concepts. Soon as I think I have something
worthwhile though, I start in with CAD. Though I usually scribble on a
notepad, I've seen designers do this at the drawing board.
The direct link between brain/pencil/paper offers speed for conceptual
visualization that will not be equaled by CAD until neural implants
become viable.
