Yes and no. I usually find it's a lot easier to copy over a bunch of lines in an AutoCAD drawing and cut/trim/modify a current design to a new iteration that I do trying to adjust a solid model or assembly. But, that could be b/c I use AutoCAD a lot more than I do Solidworks. It does take a lot more concentration to make sure all the little details are carried over to new drawing or sketch.

I'll have to stop by the shop and look at the brand we have, but it was very similar in design to this one.

If you didn't have one around, I would say a cell phone with an inclinometer app would be just as useful for the level of accuracy we were trying to hold. We just opted for the digital inclinometer b/c the shop had one we could borrow.
