The document discusses the differences and similarities between manual drafting techniques and computer-aided design (CAD) techniques. It notes that while CAD provides advantages like easier information updating and cross-referencing, it also has limitations related to screen display size and resolution. Both techniques aim to produce the same end product of construction drawings and documentation, though CAD allows for new functionality as well. The document seeks to identify issues in standardizing CAD practices given that the technology is still maturing.
