Engineering drawing: Standards, History & Technology

An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing. A common use is to specify the geometry necessary for the construction of a component and is called a detail drawing. Usually, a number of drawings are necessary to completely specify even a simple component. These drawings are linked together by a "master drawing." This "master drawing" is more…
