  Engineering drawing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Engineering drawings are often referred to as "blueprints" or "bluelines".
The process of producing engineering drawings, and the skill of producing them, is often referred to as technical drawing, although technical drawings are also required for disciplines that would not ordinarily be thought of as parts of engineering.
Engineering drawings could be readily doubled (or halved) in size and put on the next larger (or, respectively, smaller) size of paper with no waste of space.

 Technical drawing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Technical drawing, also known as drafting or draughting, is the technique of creating accurate representations of objects for architecture and engineering drawings.
Primary among these are the compass, used for drawing simple arcs and circles, and the French curve, typically a piece of plastic with complex curves on it.
Even tasks as simple as drawing two angled lines meeting at a point required a number of moves of the t-square and triangles, and in general drafting was a time consuming process.

 Engineering Drawing Scale - Engineers Edge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Scale drawings also allow components and systems that are too large to be drawn full size to be drawn in a more convenient and easy to read size.
If a drawing is drawn to scale, it can be used to obtain information such as physical dimensions, tolerances, and materials that allows the fabrication or construction of the component or system.
Every dimension of a component or system does not have to be stated in writing on the drawing because the user can actually measure the distance (e.g., the length of a part) from the drawing and divide or multiply by the stated scale to obtain the correct measurements.

 Design Handbook: Engineering Drawing and Sketching
In an isometric drawing, the object's vertical lines are drawn vertically, and the horizontal lines in the width and depth planes are shown at 30 degrees to the horizontal.
The sectional view is applicable to objects like engine blocks, where the interior details are intricate and would be very difficult to understand through the use of "hidden" lines (hidden lines are, by convention, dotted) on an orthographic or isometric drawing.
However, the convention in a drawing is to show the view on the left as the preferred method for sectioning this type of object.

 Engineering Drawing Title Block - Engineers Edge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The drawing number may also contain information such as the sheet number, if the drawing is part of a series, or it may contain the revision level.
Drawings are usually filed by their drawing number because the drawing title may be common to several prints or series of prints.
Most mechanical engineering drawing will have a reference block, which lists other drawings that are related to the system/component, or it can list all the other drawings that are cross-referenced on the drawing, depending on the site's or vendor's conventions.

 Engineering Drawings
The proposal including the proposal drawings become an essential part of a design contract, and it is the basis of the eventual design, the drawings are not used for fabrication.
Layout drawings are similar to assembly drawings, except that cross hatching is confined to the boarders and may be done free hand.
The assembly drawing is sometimes represented as a final installation drawing, or sometimes these drawings may be called subassemblies if they represent the assembly of a component of a machine which is made up of several parts.

Basic scanning of drawings is relatively cheap, a good budget figure would typically range from one to three dollars per drawing, depending upon quantity, condition and related factors.
One technique that might be used is to have the drawings scanned, then have the vendor employ several levels of dithering of the original images through bulk processing of the files.
By indexing each drawing (for example), to the part of the road on the map they represent an effective system of locating your files can be constructed.
