2007 Hand-Drafting vs. AutoCAD Over the years‚ there has been little technological advancement in architecture and interior design methods of creating drafted plans. The most significant improvement has been the development of computer aided drafting and design‚ or CADD. There are many notable advantages and disadvantages when comparing the use of hand-drafting and CADD drafting for creating completed design plans. When hand-drafting‚ speed is a time consuming issue. Drafting by hand requires
