BASIC ELEMENTS
OF TECHNICAL
DRAWING
Prepared by: Armin A Mendoza
WHAT IS TECHNICAL DRAWING?
•typically comprise the following, coordinates, a
title block, orthographic views of the part,
section views, detail views, and notes to the
manufacturer.
•a sequence of actions, materials or services
entering or leaving the process (inputs and
outputs), decisions that must be made, people
who become involved, time involved at each
step, and/or process measurements.
Why is that flowchart essential in
technical drawing?
• it provides a breakdown
of the essential steps to
solving the problem.
Other than a flowchart, there are
several elements that you can still
use to represent your process flows,
such as:
•Schematic diagram
•Layout Plan
•Loop diagram
•Charts
•Block diagram
SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
• A schematic diagram is a representation of system
elements that are abstract or symbols which are
graphical in nature. It removes all the irrelevant
information.
• In the data processing cycle example below, Input/
Output Devices are represented by a rectangle. The
rectangles don’t resemble the actual devices but give
you information without unnecessary visual clutter.
The same logic goes with the flow of the data and how
they are being processed, stored, and retrieved from
the CPU and computer memory.
CHAR
T
•A chart is a diagram that displays the
relationship of at least two variables. It
is often used to easily interpret large
quantities of data and relationship
between their parts.
There are four common charts:
•Histogra
ma graphical representation of the distribution of
-is
numerical data. data.
There are four common charts:
•Bar Chart
-is a graphical representation of
grouped data
There are four common charts:
•Pie
Chart
-is a graphical representation of quantifiable data
represented by a by a sectioned circle much like a pie
that’s been cut with the slices slices varying in size.
There are four common charts:
•Line
Chart
-is a graphical representation of information as a
series of data points connected by line segments.
BLOCK DIAGRAM
•A block diagram is a specialized type of
flowchart. It represents an encompassing
view of major process steps, including the
relationships and interfaces.
LAYOUT
•A layout is a tool to arrange a workplace,
PLANS
like in a plant, organization, or computer
laboratory in your school.
•It shows how the computers should be
located and arranged properly according
to specifications like the size of the room
and number of units to be installed.
LOOP DIAGRAM
• A loop diagram aids
you visualizing how
items in a system are
interrelated.
• It consists of a set of
nodes that represents
the item, and edges
that each represents a
connection between
two items.
