Bob's right. Drafting boards have pretty much gone the way of Kodachrome film. What he needs if it's a serious architectural program is a hi res. flat
screen display with a relatively speedy computer and a decent printer.Then a multi thousand dollar computer design program such as AutoCad to go with
it. It's a pretty expensive package to seriously learn any engineering or architectural skills needed to get out into todays job market. Usually
schools have a discount program that helps with the cost. This is what they use to design the high rise buildings floor by floor as well as single
story structures and almost everything else from aircraft to automobiles. BajaBlanca - 6-29-2017 at 03:15 PM
I guess mexico still uses the drafting tables and he did say he needed a computer for programs so I have one that was donated.woody with a view - 6-29-2017 at 05:24 PM
Sorry Blanca, its already gone. BajaBlanca - 6-30-2017 at 06:49 AM
thanks for trying!willyAirstream - 6-30-2017 at 12:33 PM
He will get an educational edition of Auto Cad or other cad program at the university for free. He will need a computer with a fast processor and a
ton of memory and preferably a large monitor. Pencils, markers, sketch paper, steel ruler, xacto knifes will also be very useful.
