I do Computer Engineering :blobcatpeek2:
But Indishlandish University requires engineering drawing :blobfoxsipsmug:

@mur2501 .. wow. I have yet to see a Computer Science student here doing that. We had to study lots of maths and logic, but not drawing, heh.

@trinsec @mur2501 I had to learn this in highschool, but we had proper architect tables with fixed level rules that slid.

@freemo @trinsec
I think Engineering Colleges here also have those tables and all the fancy stuff but currently it's lockdown and we are doing online lecs so we have to adjust in the home :ablobderpy:

@mur2501
Protractors and rulers I've used before (maths). But the 'Roll-n-draw' ruler I've not seen before and am not really sure how you'd use it heh.

@trinsec @freemo
Roll-n-draw is used for drawing parallel lines though it is less accurate and cumbersome compared to drafters

I had to imagegoogle 'drafter', it seems to be a compass?

@mur2501 Huh, never worked with that one. It looks like you could draw summoning circles with it!

@mur2501 @trinsec @freemo Never seen this. Just found videos on Youtube. Another Indian great mathematics thing that no-one know outside of India ? That's an interesting analogic vector tool that work both with Cartesian and polar coordinates.

@popolon @freemo @trinsec
Well it's not Indian, it's just called drafter in India while outside it is called drafting machine though you gonna find drafters/drafting machine all around the world with architects, engineers, etc (though ofcourse now we use computers to draw so this is old)

@popolon @freemo @trinsec
There are many tools used in technical drawing
Like this pantograph

@mur2501 @freemo @trinsec This one, I know, I was using it when I was young for fun drawing. There is spirograph too (several gears with different size, with hole to place pen).
that allow to do this kind of drawings:

@mur2501 @freemo @trinsec the tool is of that kind, there are a whole set of gears of different size to multiply the possible shapes combinations.

@popolon @freemo @trinsec
Well yes there are alot of tools in technical drawing which were used widely in the past when everything was drawn by hand, now you won't gonna find this tools anywhere apart from colleges

@mur2501 @freemo @trinsec I studied just a very little industrial drawing, for electronic purpose (but there was general mechanical objects drawing in course), and I never seen/used this. I want one, for the time where we don't have not enough oil or potatoes to power computers and continue to play with vectors drawing :)
