I have an unusual question (as most of the people on the forum).
As someone who grew up in the times of pencils, paper and poor quality blueprints I am a firm believer into strictly black-and-white linework.

I have a simple question which unfortutely doesn't have simple answer (or I couldn't find it).
Imagine a shaft having two sections - round and square
To simulate working conditions of the shaft I have to put square end into collet, rotate it and measure Run-out of the round end - something...
