I still have some of my drafting materials since school. I know almost everybody on the profession is now doing Autocad and all the new software that go along with it, it still seems to feel good to do drawings manually. I feel sorry for some architecture students who were not trained to do manual drafting. But I'm sure they were taught in school the way we were.
The only difference between our class and the new and earlier ones was that we were introduced to pioneer in autocad drafting. But in our earlier years as freshmen until the junior years, we were content using the usual pencils, triangles, t-squares, scales, pen/ink, and of course the tracing papers of different gauges. We were happy to use our lettering guides and the scribers. Mind you using these drafting materials require skill and a lot of patience.

Autocad has been so useful these days that draftsmen got so hooked on it, now they were dubbed as autocad monkeys. Some got so engrossed with the software that they got glued on it for months if not years. Some do not even mind whether they're online or not. You should check their wrists. There you might find calusses.
