What is a drafter?
[top] Drafters produce detailed drawings with exact dimensions and specifications. Drafters must translate ideas into drawings, and therefore, they are an integral link between an idea and it’s finished product. Many drafters now use CAD (Computer-Aided Drafting) to make layouts, working plans, assembly drawings, and maps from notes and sketches. They put in written form the plans and designs of architects, engineers, or designers. To show the use or purpose of an object, drafters draw several views of each part in detail. These views enable workers to see the object’s application in an assembly and where it fits in the overall design.
