I feel even more inadequate now
I marvel at the spledid drawings, dials, front panels, circuits etc that so many people seem to be able to create - often seemingly in a jiffy. I've made the mistake I guess, of downloading several free CAD software packages and bought Turbocad some time ago, so rather than developing a level of competence with any one package, I'm not just inept at only one piece of software, but quite a range! Equally incompetent in Tiny CAD, VEE CAD, Serif PagePlus, TurboCAD, Micrografx, DesignSpark, ExpressPCB, Express Schematic, Publisher, Paint, and now DraftSight and SolidEdge - my ineptitiude at CAD knows no bounds.
I spoke to Robert Darwent a while back about the splendid Ekco A22 dials which he created from scratch. I asked if he used CAD professionally and he said 'Oh no - I'm a self-taught hobbyist'.
Grrrrr! I must be the only person around who has yet to find an answer I understand to any question I pose in the 'Help' screens.
Basically, a triple-refined, weapons-grade numpty.
