    Some of the older folks here took Drafting classes in high school. I had all the tools it took to do this, but not a shred of the skill. A drafter was like a junior engineer. A whole career path that no longer exists.

      I’m one of those. I took drafting 1 in high school including vellum blueprints and later autocad. But I was more interested in design and ended up in the art department.

      Photoshop 3 had just come out annd introduced layers, we had 2 Macs in the back of the classroom, but in school we still had a phototypesetter, knives, airbrushes, and rubber cement.
