Hey, I actually had a question that drove me to dig out my copy of French's "Engineering Drawing"   You old dogs remember that classic text?   Think I've actually got two copies from various vintages.

Glad to know that at least a few of us actually know what that is -
much like CelNav it's really becoming a dying art these days.

  

I have  never even  used a CAD program.  That was back in 1994.
    

As one "old dog" to another, you really ought to try it sometime
(personally, I'm doing a lot of stuff on a computer these days that was
done manually before - audio/video editing, CAD, etc. - and of course
CelNav), and really wouldn't want to go back to the "bad old days"
before computers. If the "instant gratification" lure doesn't get you
(and the ability to play "what if" in real time), the "Undo" function
just might do it.  :-)

And for those on the list who might be too young to know what that
is,
that was one way that we did mechanical drawing back in the bad  old
days before CAD programs. :-)
