I remembered that one of the old compasses we have has an ink nib, so I had to try it out. Very satisfying to draw circles with it! I never knew what it was for back when I regularly used a compass for school.

The Role of CAD Drafting in Structural Engineering
Discover how CAD drafting tools revolutionize structural engineering by improving accuracy, streamlining design, enhancing collaboration, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Learn about the vital role of CAD software in creating precise, efficient, and sustainable structural designs.
Eugene Dietzgen factory at Fullerton and Sheffield.
I'm old enough to have taken manual mechanical drafting at Lane Tech. They sold the fancy Dietzgen drafting tool sets at the Lane school store on Western Avenue.
The drafting process was already in transition - we went from t-squares and triangles to drafting machines in my 4 years in high school. CAD was just a few years down the road.

Transforming Concepts with AutoCAD, Revit, and Chief Architect Drafting Tools
Choosing one of the right drafting tools depends on the specific needs of the designer or architect, the complexity of the projects, and the level of collaboration required. CAD, Revit, and Chief Architect each have their strengths and weaknesses, catering to different aspects of the design spectrum.
You can use drafting tools to create an earthquake-resistant design, which means that you’ll have to take certain things into consideration.
Earthquakes can happen anywhere and at any time, so the idea of not being in an “earthquake zone” is a falsehood. There are approximately 2 million earthquakes happening throughout the world each year. And of the 500,000 that can be detected, 100,000 of them can be felt. Yet approximately 100 buildings get damaged by earthquakes each year. It’s a well-known fact that buildings and earthquakes don’t go hand in hand. And in many cases, the damage can be extensive. Building damage avoidance is a simple concept, but it’s the materials being used that causes problems.

Watercolor of Venice by James Holland. Are the buildings inked in first? (Mario A. Pita)
My wife, Victoria, sent me a Facebook post by Mario A. Pita, a son of Cuban refugees who resides in Arlington, Va., and who enjoys posting artists’ work on their birthdays. The birthday of watercolorist James Holland(1799-1870) fell just as I was conceiving a series of posts on architectural drafting tools…
