I do Computer Engineering
But Indishlandish University requires engineering drawing

@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

@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.

@freemo

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

@mur2501
I had to imagegoogle 'drafter', it seems to be a compass?

@freemo

@trinsec @freemo
Well the basic reason to prefer these fancy rulers is cause even a mistake of 1 cm or some degree angle can ruin the whole drawing and you will have to restart.

@mur2501
My dad used paper with a millimeter-grid on it, you don't have those?

And why don't you get a drafter?

@freemo

@trinsec @freemo
Milimeter grids are good but in technical drawing you also have to draw parallel lines to angled lines not just X and Y axis.

For using drafters you need a table or bench made for the purpose of technical drawing (our drawing papers are very big), so ofcourse people don't have those in their homes also drafters aren't sold in everywhere especially outside cities. As well as I only have to do technical drawing for just one semester which is gonna end on 20 August

@mur2501
Aha. Well, do your best and I wish you the very best of luck! The sooner you can get to actual computer science-related stuff, the better. :)
