Technical drawing, also known as drafting, is the academic discipline of creating standardized technical drawings by architects, interior designers, drafters, design engineers, and related professionals. Standards and conventions for layout, line thickness, text size, symbols, view projections, descriptive geometry, dimensioning, and notation are used to create drawings that are ideally interpreted in only one way.

A person who does drafting is known as a drafter. In some areas this person may be referred to as a drafting technician, draftsperson, or draughtsperson. This person creates technical drawings which are a form of specialized graphic communication. A technical drawing differs from a common drawing by how it is interpreted. A common drawing can hold many purposes and meanings, while a technical drawing is intended to concisely and clearly communicate all needed specifications to transform an idea into physical form.

Asked by leon - Sun Nov 5 08:17:08 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Why are you asking this again? I just answered you. Again: There are "levels" to dimensioning. The major dimensions are the overall height, width, depth of the whole object. The next level down will sub-divide that major dimension to describe sub-components. As example: Consider a house plan. * From one extreme side to the other extreme side is a MAJOR dimension (the overall width). * In between those extreme outer wall edges are interior walls that need to be located as well. So the next layer of dimensions (MINOR) still goes from one side to the other but pulls lots of dimensions from lots of walls. * Also, there are porches, corners for inset windows, etc Another MINOR level picks up those points. * And so on. In your 3D… [cont.]
