Overview
A structure does not create itself from thin air: It takes a design. And the design must be communicated in a way that everyone who needs to use it can understand. Drafters prepare technical drawings and plans used by production and construction workers to build everything from manufactured products such as spacecraft or industrial machinery to structures such as office buildings or gas pipelines. Their drawings provide visual guidelines, showing the technical details of the products and structures, specifying dimensions, materials to be used, procedures and processes.
Modern drafting is done mostly on the computer using computer-aided design (CAD) systems. These electronic drawing files don't fade or crumble, like paper drawings do. At the same time, the values of clarity and elegance are as important today as they were in the days of drawing boards and protractors.
