COMPUTER DRAFTING AND DESIGN
WHAT IT MEANS:
Drafting is a graphic language used by industry to communicate ideas and plans from the
creative design stage through production. Computer drafting and design is one way to
produce drawings in traditional design and drafting fields.
Many industries use drafters who can translate ideas, sketches and specifications of an
engineer, architect or designer into complete and accurate working plans needed to make
products, engineer projects or create structures. The availability of micro-CAD systems
has enabled even small drafting firms to utilize computeraided drafting and design.
