What does a draftsperson do? |
Answer
A draftsperson produces technical drawings such as blueprints of various objects. Most drafting today is done by means of computers, using CAD (Computer Aided Design).
According to AOLstudybuddy:
Drafting is also called mechanical drawing. It is the process of representing
topography, engineering works, buildings, and pieces of machinery by means of
special drawings called mechanical or engineering drawings. The techniques of
drafting are an important part of all types of engineering and manufacturing and
are used in architecture and geology.
The basic purpose of a mechanical
drawing is to show the exact shape and all details of an object. An ordinary
perspective drawing gives no information about hidden details of the object. The
technique of conventional drafting is to use two or more projections to
represent solid objects. This technique relies on ideas learned in geometry.
These projections are different views of the object and are not complete in
themselves, but when viewed as a collection they represent every aspect and
detail of the object being represented.
