Drafting Equivalent of Texting

[truckandbus]

Anybody notice adherence to drafting standards degenerating over the past few years? It is as if the same attitude seen towards spelling while texting (ur instead of you are, l8tr instead of later, etc) is showing up on the drafting boards (hidden lines missing from views, hole common centerlines implied but not shown, etc.). I've recently changed companies and I'm stunned by the lack of application of standard drawing practices. The common explanation seems to be 'the parts are made from the model anyway, not the drawing)

If I may drop my 2 cents:
I am as "old school" as it gets, but even in the times of paper and pencil I was thought: if you want to show "what's inside" you make a section.
Hidden lines serve auxiliary function, may be incomplete or removed "for clarity".
Refusing to provide sectional view in the times of CAD is simply beyond laziness.

There seems two very different things here as far as CAD goes. Drawings that are created in 2D on a CAD system and views created from a 3D CAD model. 2D created drawings are not really much different to the same thing done on a drawing board, views created from a model are completely different. At least in my mind.
