What is Technical Drawing?
A technical drawing, also known as an engineering drawing, is a
thorough, precise diagram or blueprint that conveys information about
the function or construction of an object. Engineers, electricians, and
contractors all use these drawings as blueprints while building or
repairing structures.
Why are Technical Drawings Important?
Technical drawings serve as a conduit for communication between
designers, who come up with concepts, and producers, who put those
ideas into action. Engineers, contractors, and architects can all
understand them because they're written in a universal language.
TYPES OF TECHNICAL DRAWINGS
Mechanical Engineering Drawing

The criteria for engineering products/components are defined using
mechanical engineering drawings. They act as technical documentation
as well as troubleshooting tools for locating flaws in mechanical
designs. To precisely show the mechanism and its component elements,
mechanical drawings rely on precise mathematical formulae.
Electrical Engineering Drawing
Electrical drawings are technical documents that illustrate and
describe electrical system designs. They communicate important
information about lighting, wiring, and power sources, as well as
voltage and capacity. During the construction of a building or when
maintaining its electrical system, technicians rely on electrical
drawings.
Architectural Engineering Drawing
Architectural drawings are thorough, exact representations of all aspects
of the intended construction. Architects utilize the drawings to visualize
ideas and concepts, develop a design concept into a cohesive building
plan, and determine the type of materials and labor required for the
project.
What are the branches of technical drawing?
Mechanical, civil, and electrical engineers, manufacturing designers, and
architects all produce and use detailed, precise technical drawings that convey
information about how an object or structure functions or how it is
constructed.
What is perspective drawing in technical drawing?
Perspective drawing is a way to represent 3D objects on a flat surface. Using
perspective drawing conveys depth, space, and extension of an object, tool, part,
or building. Autodesk Inventor software makes it easy to apply perspective to a
custom drawing view.
Electrical Symbols
Basic electrical and electronic devices or
components are represented graphically by
electrical symbols. These symbols are used to
identify components in circuit and electrical
diagrams. A schematic symbol is another name
for it. According to its operating features, each
component has a certain function. To complete
an electronic circuit or schematic drawing, a
connected path between electronic components
is used. These elements are denoted by their
respective symbols.
Electrical Signs
Electrical signs and symbols advise
employees and others about
electrical hazards and provide
recommendations for avoiding
harm. PAT testing labels, for
example, inform users whether or
not electrical equipment and
appliances are safe to use.
Electrical Data
Information, facts, or programs stored
on, created or used on, or transmitted
to or from computer software,
including systems and applications
software, hard or floppy disks, CD-
ROMS, tapes, drives, cells, data
processing devices, or any other media
used with electronically stored
information, facts, or programs.
