I'd disagree with this. Maybe at first the crazy stuff happens, especially when you're getting to know the in's and out's of a software package. However, the great thing about CAD packages these days is being able to derive your drawings from your parametric model and have those drawings update whenever a model is changed. If you were hand drawing this and the design changed , there would be a significant amount of time editing or creating a new drawing.

I agree that drafting by hand absolutely helps to understand proper drafting techniques and standards. That being said, it's almost 2010 - time to go digital people.
