Yes. And this one seems to be an advance model as it doesn't have a T-square

I spent a lot of time cleaning the graphite off the pad of my right hand. You know you had a busy day by the amount of eraser fibers on your lap when you finally stepped away from the board.

This one is quite fancy even without the Tee square. But the clear table for light is sweet. Great for seeing if you lined up all the bearing points right. For all you young guns, that would be Overlay in your tool bar.
