Doesn CAD take longer than hand drawing?
Possibly. It depends very much upon the complexity of the drawing. A simple pencil or ink drawing can be very quick to set up and execute. However, the minute you need to make a small change and completely redraw the paper-based drawing, the CAD drawing comes into its own. Paper based modifications will mean doing the drawing all over again. Whereas CAD modifications are quick and easy and reprinting involves the touch of a button.
