Technical drawing, also known as drafting, a form of specialized graphic communication is the academic discipline of creating standardized technical drawings by architects, interior designers, drafters, design engineers, and related professionals. Standards and conventions for layout, line thickness, text size, symbols, view projections, descriptive geometry, dimensioning, and notations are used to create drawings that are ideally interpreted in only one way.
A person who does drafting is known as a drafter, drafting technician, draftsperson, or draughtsman. A technical drawing differs from a common drawing by how it is interpreted. A common drawing can hold many purposes and meanings, while a technical drawing is intended to concisely and clearly communicate all needed specifications to transform an idea into physical form. For this the drafter needs to use some tools and media to communicate the idea. The tools and media used by them are called as drafting equipment
