SmartDraw helps you create technical drawings, electrical diagrams, mechanical drawings, and architectural designs without learning CAD. Choose from hundreds of templates, add symbols, and share your work with others easily.

Learn the basics of engineering sketching and drawing, including isometric, orthographic, dimensioning, sectioning, and assembly views. This guide is part of the Design and Manufacturing I course at MIT OpenCourseWare.

Draft precise and detailed technical drawings quickly with Autodesk software. Draw architectural designs, electrical systems, mechanical parts, and much more.

These best practices apply to 2D drafting and creating technical drawings from a 3D model. 1. Create a template. Create a single template that can be used for detail and assembly drawings compliant with ASME or ISO standards (depending on location).

Learn what technical drawing is, how it is used to communicate complex information in engineering, design, and architecture, and what types and techniques are involved. Explore the history, standards, and future of technical drawing with examples and images.

Learn about the history, standards, and methods of engineering drawing, a type of technical drawing that conveys information about an object. Find out how to use symbols, views, dimensions, and tolerances to specify the geometry and function of a component or assembly.
