Manual Drafting vs AutoCAD
Developers should learn manual drafting to understand fundamental design principles, spatial reasoning, and attention to detail, which are transferable to digital design and CAD software meets developers should learn autocad when working on projects that require technical drawings, such as building information modeling (bim), mechanical design, or civil engineering plans. Here's our take.
