ABSTRACT
The technical drawing is the means by which designers communicate their requirements. A technical drawing is a pictorial representation of a component with dimensions and other data added. Together with various specifications, the drawing sets out a detailed description of the part which is to be made. The arrangement of dimensions shown on the drawing determine the shape and together with various characteristics, will have an influence on how the part is made, e.g. whether the part is to be produced from a casting or forging, whether it is a fabricated or welded structure or machined from solid material.
