Pro tip: I was dead wrong about digital drafting tablets being a gimmick

For years I swore by my old-school drafting board and parallel bar, thinking digital tablets would never feel natural for detailed architectural drawings. Then I borrowed a friend's cheap 13-inch screen tablet for a weekend project in Austin and actually finished a full set of floor plans in half my usual time. Has anyone else gone through that awkward phase of switching from paper to digital and found some trick that made it click for you?

You said half the time but that's in Austin with no humidity fighting your paper. Try that same tablet in a Houston summer and see which one you grab.

Paper gets weird in humidity sure but it's not like tablets are waterproof either.

Nora's got a point, can't sketch when your tablet overheats in your truck.
