Six months ago I hand drafted a whole house plan on vellum like some sort of relic

I started drafting back when everything was on a board with a parallel bar. I used to burn through erasers like crazy and my desk had this constant layer of graphite dust. My mentor told me I 'wasted three hours' on a door schedule I could have done in twenty minutes with CAD. Then I got forced into Revit for a big commercial project after a client in Dallas specifically asked for it. Now I use a mix of Revit and AutoCAD and I honestly can't believe I fought the switch for so long. Clicking undo instead of scraping half a sheet of vellum is a game changer I wish I had a decade earlier. Anyone else still keep a drafting board tucked away somewhere or did you finally toss yours?

My buddy Jeff still keeps his old board in his garage for posterity.
