no privacy

Hmm You're not at your drafting table though... The boss could be watching you. Maybe set up one of those cut outs we see at sporting events these days. :^)

Some day fairly soon there will be a 6g app that documents every moment of your life in 360 degree video and surround sound.

People do something like that in cars already.

I do like to draw, Beryl Turquoise pencil on D-size vellum and birds in the trees. CAD schematic entry slows down thinking.

I and my brother have been captured in streetview, in different towns.

I'd lost touch with a friend due to the pandemic (she had moved into a new house -- online databases are laggers). When I found a likely new address, I used google street view -- with the intention of seeing if her car was parked in the driveway

(remember: park on the driveway and drive on the parkway!)

Amusingly, google had captured her watering her rose bushes! (they obscure faces but her legs were easily recognizable :> )

Larkin! Larkin! We've got a Larkin, here!

Communist gay-lasers can penetrate glass you know!! Do you ever wake up feeling more fabulous some days than others? That was them!

Nevermind the google streetview car:

Any time you'd like to say something original or intelligent, we're ready.

If you think hard enough to sometimes decide that it might be worth ripping up something you had drawn, CAD schematics become a lot more attractive.

If you are the kind of egomaniac who never has any doubt about the perfection of the first idea that has popped into your mind (or are dumb enough to be confident that there won't be another one for ages) CAD schematics may be less attractive.

Google Street View captured a close-up of Simon and me climbing around on a large cotton harvester near Charlotte a couple of years ago. I have the photo someplace. (Our customer spotted it and sent it to us.)

To ignore it. John Larkin's enthusiasm for those bits of his own output that he considers original and intelligent is unsurpassed. His judgement of his own output is more enthusiastic than reliable.

His enthusiasm for appreciating other people's output is rather less obvious, and his judgement there doesn't seem to be any more reliable.

I'd use net curtains/drapes.

Sure thing

Hey SL0WMAN, as opposed to YOUR judgment, which is NON-EXISTENT.

Flyguy - who seems to be the stupidest and most ill-informed person who posts here - is stupid enough to imagine that his evaluation of anybody else's judgement is going to be taken seriously. Talk about delusions of competence.

People still use drafting tables?

A few do. CAD schematic entry slows down thinking. I don't need to create a library part to draw it.

I draw new parts the way that they flow into the schematic, and my layout people can use that as the library part appearance.

Just the entry is faster with a pencil. Much faster.

Do you sketch circuts on paper first, or just CAD?

And block the view? If people want to watch me draw, I don't mind. I do have all my clothes on.

Depending on the type of net you might be surprised how little they can block the view during the day. If you work at night, blinds might be a good idea.

But you were complaining about no privacy ???

Ok so we won't be seeing any headlines along the lines of "Google street view car accident caused by...."
