Introduction • The entire world depends upon technical drawings to convey the ideas that feed today’s industrialized society. • Architectural, structural, electric, electronic, machine, plumbing, and piping drawings are all forms of mechanical/technical drawings. • When rendering technical drawings, accuracy, neatness, technique, and speed in execution are essential. • Inaccurate drawings could be worthless or lead to costly errors.
Technical Drawing • Technical drawingis a necessarily broad term that applies to any drawing used to express technical ideas. • Technical drawings are usually mechanically sketches refined by using straightedges, triangles, and drafting instruments. Drawings are now often completed used Computer Aided Drafting software. Many of these drawings begin as a form of sketching.
Technical Sketching • Technical sketchingis a freehand sketch. The only equipment required to execute technical sketches are soft pencils, paper, and eraser. • The novice sketcher may find paper that is cross sectioned with ruled lines beneficial in establishing and maintaining scale. • There are gridded papers, isometric papers for isometric sketches, and perspective papers for sketches requiring perspective available. • When selecting an eraser, chose a soft or artgum eraser.
Types of Sketches • Types ofsketches Since technical sketches and drawings represent three-dimensional objects, your sketches should conform to one of the four standard types of projection. The four major types of projection are • (1) multiview – 3 view 2-D drawing • (2) axonometric – pictorial 3-D drawing • (3) oblique – pictorial 3-D drawing • (4) perspective – pictorial 3-D drawing
