dont forget a compass... screwed without
one really. :)
Ya know, people think manually drafting is cheap.
It's NOT surprisingly enough. I found this out a few weeks ago. You
can spend hundreds of dollars before you even draw anything, and this DOESNT
include a drafting table. A good drafting table will cost $400+.
There is a new one out called the Alvin Creative Center though. It's
about $175 and well worth it I think (comes with light, table, chair, base,
containers, etc). But, you still have to buy a large T-bar in order to get
squared, they're like 30 bucks.
My opinion is, if you just want to jot down scaled
ideas then dont bother with serious drafting equipment and/or software.
Just use programs like SmartDraw, Visio, even Powerpoint, or just stick with
Paint and Word. Dont forget all the freeware out there too for 2D and
3D. Biggest issue is learning the stuff.

on the technology. ;-)
Sorry, I just had to, Dan H.

The time has come to graduate from MS Paint and Word as my primary
design software.
Any suggestions? Try not to bankrupt me though! :)
Thanks
