Coincidentally, I happened to receive this email about a seminar on "Tradigital Drawing Shortcuts" by Jim Leggitt about the time this discussion started on creating sketch images from CAD base drawings. You might want to check this out. I notice that the seminar utilizes the "SketchUp" software.
I also happen to have Jim's book in our library. Very interesting suggestions for a wide variety of drawing techniques and mediums, many based on CAD underlays.
