Drafting may be defined as a graphic means using lines and words to clearly and accurately convey how to construct the project. It is a process for preparing drawings to communicate ideas and instructions for others to follow. Therefore, accuracy and clarity are of paramount importance. Neither accuracy nor clarity should be sacrificed for the sake of expediency. Drafting involves a comprehensive knowledge of basic mathematics, ratio and proportion, and the ability of visualization.
