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 drawing is 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 sketching is 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 of sketches 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
