It is important for engineering and many other technical fields to be able to clearly communicate ideas and design. Most ideas are best described with both graphics and text. There are many standards used to improved the clarity of technical graphics.
Technical Drawings - Drawings that visually communicate the size and shape of an object or how something functions or is constructed.
Five Type of Technical Drawing (Based on what tools are used to create the drawing)
1. Sketch (pencil & paper) used to quickly record ideas.
2. Scale Drawing (ruler or graph paper) 2000bc used to develop an idea by showing sizes and proportions.
3. Drafted Drawing 1909 (T-square, triangle, compass) for making final working drawings with the use of a computer.
4. CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) 1982 allows you to quickly make and modify final drawings
5. 3D Computer Modeling 1990 (once modeled the computer can create the CAD drawings)
