Conventional

Technical Drawing
GROUP 1
Introduction
• Technical drawing is a universal language used by
engineers, architects, and designers to communicate ideas
in a clear and precise manner. Conventional technical
drawing, often referred to as drafting, is the practice of
creating detailed and accurate drawings of objects and
structures. Conventional drawing refers to traditional
methods of creating technical drawings using tools such
as pencils, rulers, and compasses.
Basics of Conventional Technical
Drawing
• Conventional technical drawing involves creating
drawings using standardized symbols, line types, and
scales to represent objects accurately. Orthographic
projection, where objects are represented using multiple
views (front, top, side), is a fundamental principle. Other
key aspects include dimensioning, title blocks, and the
use of different line types to distinguish between different
features.
Importance of Conventional
Technical Drawing
Conventional technical drawing is essential for
several reasons:

• Communication: It allows engineers and designers to


communicate complex ideas and designs effectively.

• Precision: Technical drawings provide precise measurements


and details, ensuring that components fit together correctly.
Importance of Conventional
Technical Drawing
• Documentation: Drawings serve as a record of the
design process, enabling future reference and
modifications.

• Visualization: Drawings help visualize the final product


before manufacturing, reducing errors and saving time
and resources.
Examples of Conventional
Technical Drawing
Some examples of conventional drawing include:
• Architectural drawings: Plans, elevations, and sections
of buildings and structures.
• Engineering drawings: Mechanical, electrical, and civil
engineering drawings showing components, circuits, and
layouts.
• Machine drawings: Detailed drawings of machine parts
and assemblies.
Examples of Conventional
Technical Drawing
• Circuit diagrams: Schematic drawings of electrical
circuits.
• Isometric drawings: 3D drawings representing objects
in three dimensions using isometric projection.
• Piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID):
Diagrams used in process engineering to show piping,
valves, and instrumentation.
Conventional Technical Drawing
and its Relationship with CAD
Technical drawing, also known as drafting, is the process
of creating detailed and precise drawings of objects and
structures. Conventional technical drawing has been the
traditional method of creating these drawings, but with the
advent of Computer-Aided Design (CAD), the way
drawings are created and used has evolved significantly.
The Role of CAD in Technical
Drawing
• Computer-Aided Design or CAD has revolutionized the
field of technical drawing by offering powerful tools to
create, modify, and store drawings digitally. CAD software
allows for faster creation of drawings, precise
measurements, and the ability to easily modify designs.
CAD drawings can also be easily shared and reproduced,
making collaboration and distribution simpler and more
efficient.
Relationship between Conventional
Technical Drawing and CAD
• While CAD has largely replaced conventional technical
drawing in many industries, the principles of conventional
drawing are still relevant in CAD. Understanding
conventional drawing principles is essential for effectively
using CAD software. CAD software often mimics the
conventions of conventional drawing, such as using
standardized symbols and line types, making it easier for
users familiar with conventional drawing to transition to
CAD.
Conclusion
• Conventional technical drawing is a fundamental skill
for engineers, architects, and designers. It enables
accurate communication, visualization, and
documentation of designs, leading to the creation of
precise and functional products. Mastering the basics of
technical drawing is essential for anyone entering a
technical field.
Conclusion
• Conventional technical drawing and Computer-Aided
Design (CAD) are closely related, with CAD building upon
the principles of conventional drawing. While CAD has
become the standard in many industries, understanding
the basics of conventional drawing is still valuable, as it
forms the foundation of technical drawing principles used
in CAD. As technology continues to advance, the
relationship between conventional drawing and CAD will
continue to evolve, shaping the future of technical
drawing practices.
