There were/are "guys" who could do a hand drawing that was
bland and lifeless and there are "guys" who can do a hand
drawing that looks like a plate from some ancient text on
architecture. The same applies to CAD.

Or am I the only one who has noticed this?

Get a jet printer/plotter. Makes all the difference in the
