Technical drawing
  • 1. Technical drawing, also known as drafting, is the discipline of creating detailed, precise, and scaled drawings that communicate how something is designed or constructed. These drawings are essential in fields such as engineering, architecture, manufacturing, and construction, as they provide visual representations of complex objects, structures, and systems. Technical drawings use standardized symbols, line styles, and dimensions to convey important information about size, shape, materials, and assembly instructions. The accuracy and clarity of technical drawings are crucial for ensuring that projects are implemented correctly and meet their intended specifications.
