Tom, I did not know about that NE quadrant tip. Thanks.
-
Thanks, tomsdesk but what is a NE quardant?
-
when in plan view ur axis divides the entire spaace into 4 QUADRANTS.. so the left upper quadrant is the NE quadrant... considering the NS-EW direction!
one of the first basic things u learn in engineering drawing! -

one of the first basic things u learn in engineering drawing!Do you mean the upper left, or am I confused. Looking at a map, NE would be the upper right. That's also the quadrant (octant?) within the darker axes lines.
When I took engineering drawing we used graphite sticks encased in wood and rubbed them on pressed wood pulp.

Did you make a BooBoo Jenu? Don't worry I understand what you meant and in future I'll try it out as I have the same problem with the free version. Does it work the same in the southern hemisphere where the sun is in the north and the cold wind comes from the south? 
Cheers, Bill. -

And imagine us setting up boards with all the others over a whole night with msn messenger on and tweaking things.
I hope we haven't screwed up too much!

haha, you're old....oh damn, those are the tools I used in mechanical drafting. well they did issue me a rectangular, gum based, deletion device also. I can still remember one of my dreaded projects "a bolt" drawn enlarged at 4:1 with accurate thread depth and count, what a pain. now it's 4 clicks and a couple of extrudes.
as for "zoom" I have the free version, but I have noticed if your cursor is not on an object, it will zoom way past it. this is worse the closer you are to the object. also if your in "parallel projection" it seems to "hide" parts of the model.

One of my favortes was the "eraser shield"
. What a way to make dashed lines. That's something you can't even do in SU. -
I also had this device with a thin metal tube that was used to spill a mixture of soot, water and gum arabic on the pressed pulp.
Anssi

I bet Gaieus could identify what that is. He is an archeologist after all.

Yes, exactly that's a piece of "thingy" (the scientific name for it).

Would such a "thingy" sell well on eBay? I think I found some in the loft.
