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.

Highschool? Which course was that? I know my dad did need to do engineering drawings too in highschool (at the HBS), but modern highschools don't really have this anymore.

I think they called it "technical drawing"

Probably wouldn't be a course here anymore. Since the HBS is long gone (it's become the VWO I believe) the focus shifted. I'll ask my dad sometime about it. I've seen some of his engineering drawings, somehow he still has them. ;) He hated that course though.

Well the concepts in it are interesting and nice but it fucking takes hours to draw stuff and things get ruined with just one going a few degrees missing :welp:
Especially in the current condition of doing it in home with improper tools and environment.

Isn't a ruler just a ruler? What improper tools are we talking about?
But I agree, I wasn't really fond of all this precision drawing either. I'd rather use a computer for that, heh. At least you could ctrl-z nicely if you made a mistake!

Hell, life needs a CTRL-Z feature!

The roller rulers are intended to be a cheap replacement for a proper architect T-ruler or the wire fixed equivelant. A T-ruler only works on an architects table where a roller ruler you can use on any notebook anywhere.

The idea is that you can move the ruler up and down and the lines will remain parallel and fixed as long as you dont lift it. Then you can pule triangles or protractors on top of it to create various angles.

Aaahhh, ok that's nicely explained. Dad and me use the hook-ruler regularly when DIYing up with planks.

I think I'd probably still use normal rulers instead of those rolling things. I fumble way too much.
