Design Control Drawings
(See Drawing Formats)

       The Design Control / Part – Assembly Drawing Packages are a set of two-dimensional schematic diagrams or drawings used to describe a space or object, or to communicate manufacturing, construction or fabrication instructions.  The drawings use 2D line drawing, orthographic projections such as a plan or top, front and side views, or 3 and 4 axis drawings including isometric, ¾ perspective or bird's-eye views.

       Typically Design Control Drawings are created form 3D CAD models or hand drawn, pencil or technical pen on vellum or mylar or printed on paper and take the form of an electronic digital file .dwg .dxf or pdf.  Their purpose in these disciplines is to accurately and unambiguously capture all the geometric surfaces and features of the building, interior space, product or component.  These drawings can also be for presentation or orientation purposes, leaving out unnecessary details.  The end goal of the design control drawings is either to portray an existing place or object, or to convey enough information to allow a builder or manufacturer to realize a design.

       The process of producing 2D & 3D Design Control and/or Engineering Part Assembly Drawings and the experience and skill of producing them, is often referred to as CAD development or 3D virtual modeling producing these technical drawings. CAD drawing are typically produced during and after the 3D CAD modeling process to review progress and validate design been competed.  Final 2D Documentation Drawing Packages can only be completed once the 3D design is approved.   Design Control Drawings (Packages) are typically generated in CAD or using standard pencil on vellum paper, mechanical drafting methods to define initial layout proportions, geometric component layout and dimensions, leading to the final design control drawings package. Design Control Drawings are typically of the over all assembly and major part to be released to CAD and Engineering for generation of the 3D CAD model.  Depending on the product application the design may be generated directly in the 3D CAD system.  Large system changes to design in overall design can be time consuming  in CAD.  

       Engineering Part Assembly Drawings (Packages) are used to accurately and unambiguously capture all the geometric features of a product or a component, including quantity, material, color, finish, fabrication layout for prototype or production manufacturing of each individual part of the product assembly.  WD uses industry standardized conventions for CAD and drawing layout, nomenclature, interpretation, appearance, size, etc., with the end goal being to convey all the required information that will allow a model maker, prototyper or tooling manufacturer to produce that part component.
