Engineering drawing

An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing. A common use is to specify the geometry necessary for the construction of a component and is called a detail drawing. Usually, a number of drawings are necessary to completely specify even a simple component.

These drawings are linked together by a "master drawing.
" This "master drawing" is more commonly known as an assembly drawing.
The assembly drawing gives the drawing numbers of the subsequent detailed components, quantities required, construction materials and possibly 3D images that can be used to locate individual items.
