Introduction to CAD systems Graphical representation means dealing with the expression of ideas by lines and marks impressed on a surface. A drawing is graphical representation of objects and structures and is done using free hand, mechanical or computer methods. It takes special knowledge and skills to be able to represent technical ideas with sufficient precision for the product to be mass produced and parts to be easily interchanged. This special knowledge is called technical drawing.
