AutoCAD: freehand style drawing (squiggle)

Not only 3D models but also a standard AutoCAD 2D drawing can be easily presented in a form of a "sketched" (free-hand, napkin, shaky) drawing, apparently done by hand (overshoot edges, jittered lines). A straight technical drawing can appear as a project designed by hand.

The steps to change a DWG into a squiggled drawing are described in the video AutoCAD #2 - Squiggle (in the section Learning - in Czech).

Squiggle

The drawing can be also plotted (printed) or published in the same style.
