About this app
The modern engineering drawing has become a very sophisticated method of relaying information about the geometry of parts and assemblies.Today, engineering drawings are almost exclusively created using computers by a specialized and important member of the engineering team – the drafter. A competent drafter knows the ins and outs of the drafting standards and ensures these do not become a burden to the engineer.
Engineering drawings are typically of two kinds: part drawing and assembly drawing. The part drawing shows the dimensions of individual parts (a bracket, an extrusion, a tube, a bent aluminum sheet, etc.), while the assembly drawing shows how these are to be attached in relation to each other. A home-built kitplane may require 100-200 drawings, a GA aircraft may require 10,000, and a fighter or a commercial jetliner 50,000 to over 100,000 drawings
