CAD drawings

Computer-designed technical plans

CAD drawings are technical illustrations created with computer-aided design software rather than by hand.

They're used in architecture, engineering, and manufacturing to produce precise blueprints, schematics, and 3D models: The architect sent over the CAD drawings for the renovation.

CAD allows easy revision, scaling, and sharing of design documents.
