Information in the drawing. Like a sketch, a mechanical

drawing shows how an object should look. However, the

drawing is made precisely to scale, and specifications of

dimensions, angles, and other measurements are written on it.

The drawing also provides instructions for producing the

object. For example, a mechanical drawing of a gear may specify how precise the

dimensions must be, the material and heat treatment to

be used, the surface finish, and settings for the machines that are to fashion the gear from

metal.

Mechanical drawing definition is a drawing that provides the exact information needed to produce an architectural structure or a manufactured object. Every building, bridge, and dam requires mechanical drawings, as does every automobile, refrigerator, and lathe.

Mechanical drawings represent the appearance of an object in different

views. A view, also known as an orthographic projection, is made by

drawing the various sides of a three-dimensional object on a flat plane such as the surface of a sheet of paper or a computer screen. In the United States, designers and drafters (specialists who

prepare mechanical drawings) commonly use the isometric view, which consist of

the top, front, and side views of an object.
