What is Technical Drawing?

Technical drawing describes the process of producing a pictorial representation of a designer or
engineer’s vision into a physical form. It serves as a guide or plan to the construction of what is
represented in the drawing.

Technical drawing use graphics to show details. In other words, they convert ideas into physical form.
Also, kwon as drafting, technical drawing is done using a two-dimensional or three-dimensional.

Definition of Terms
Assembly drawing – a drawing that shows how different parts go together
Drawing – a picture, diagram made of lines, a graphic representation of real thing
Orthographic drawing – the object is presented into two or more views by projecting the outline into
the planes of projection perpendicular to each other.
Pictorial view – the presentation of an object where it is viewed showing the three faces of an object
are shown
Detailed drawing – drawing of a detail part usually in orthographic projection
Multi-view drawing – drawing that shows more than one view of an object
Working plan – a freehand drawing showing all the information needed to construct an object Parts
List- is a list of all parts required to put an assembly together. This list itemizes important data about

2
each part of an assembled machine or product such as part name, material, quantity required, and size
specifications.

Detail Assembly Drawing

A detail assembly is a combination of an assembly view with several of its parts depicted as
dimensioned multiview drawings on one drawing sheet.

This practice, though not common, reduces the number of drawing sheets needed, and is more
appropriate for designs with small numbers of components.

A detail assembly drawing shows how all components are assembled and provides all the necessary
details, dimensions and joining techniques (including welding) to fully assemble all or part of the
project. It has several detailed drawings within it.

▪ One or more of the components are drawn in more detail.

▪ All the individual components have item numbers, example Item 1,
Item 2 etc.
▪ The detail for these components is shown in the assembly drawing or
in separate views, or on a separate detail drawing.
▪ All the views necessary to gain a good understanding of the drawing
are shown.
▪ The measurements to manufacture the project are given

Detail drawings provide a detailed description of the geometric form of a part of an object such as a
building, bridge, tunnel, machine, plant, and so on. They tend to be large-scale drawings that show
in detail parts that may be included in less detail on general arrangement drawings.

What is the difference between Assembly drawing and Detail Assembly drawing?

14
Assembly drawing is a sketch of a machine. A simple diagram of machine is known as assembly
drawing. Part of a machine, which are used in machine must be considered in detail drawing.

Detail drawing is not just a sketch of a machine, but of all the parts of a machine and how they are to
be assembled to make that machine. A detail can be of any part, or any number of parts, of the
machine, partially assembled or not, that gives a greater detail of how it works, is put together, or of
dimensions, etc.
For instance, say you have an assembly drawing of an entire automobile and a part of that assembly
is the dashboard. You may then have a detail of everything that is on/in the dashboard. (to make it
more confusing, you could also have an assembly drawing of just the dashboard, with different detail
drawings of the parts of the dashboard.)

15
Erection Assembly Drawing

16
▪ Similar to general assemblies, except dimensions and fabrication specifications are
commonly included.
▪ Typically associated with cabinetry or products that are made from structural steel.
▪ Used for both fabrication and assembly.

 Parts List Location

The location of a parts list usually depends on company standards. Common locations include:
Above the title block – most common
Upper right corner
Upper left corner
When placed in the assembly drawing, the parts list can be located in the upper-left or upper-right
corner of the sheet, above or to the left of the title block, or in the convenient location. The location
also depends on company standard.
When the parts list is so extensive, the best location is the upper-right corner of the assembly sheet,
in this case a new group of column is added to the right-side of the first one. If additional parts are
added to the assembly, then space on the bottom of parts list is always available.

When the parts list is so extensive, the best location is the upper-right corner of the assembly sheet,
in this case a new group of columns is added to the right-side of the first one. If additional parts are
added to the assembly, then space on the bottom of parts list is always available.

If the parts list is located in the bottom of page, then each row of data is provided from the bottom of
the sheet upward, that is less natural.
Parts list in separate sheet
The parts list is not always placed on the assembly drawing. Some companies prefer to prepare parts
list on separate sheets. This method allows the parts list to be computer generated separately from the
drawings. Separate parts list is usually prepared on a computer so information can be edited
conveniently.
