Basic Element of Technical

Drawing
Diagrams and Charts
 schematic, or schematic diagram

• is a representation of the elements of a system using

abstract, graphic symbols rather than realistic pictures. A
schematic usually omits all details that are not relevant to
the key information the schematic is intended to convey,
and may include oversimplified elements in order to make
this essential meaning easier to grasp.
• a subway map intended for passengers may
represent a subway station with a dot.
• a diagram of a system in which the
principal parts or functions are
represented by blocks connected by
lines that show the relationships of the
blocks. They are heavily used in
engineering in hardware
design, electronic design, software
design, and process flow diagrams.
• shows a detailed layout of the
whole site and the relationship
of the proposed works with the
boundary of the property,
nearby roads and neighboring
buildings.
•is a causal diagram that aids in
visualizing how different
variables in a system are

•graphical representation of data,
in which "the data is represented
by symbols, such as bars in a bar
chart, lines in a line chart, or
slices in a pie chart"
 • This shape is use to
Start / End where the flow
begins or end it
usually has the text
“start” or “End”
• This shape is use
to illustrate an
action or an
operation. These
are Represented
by rectangles
and a text
containing the
action to take.
•This shape Show
the input and
output of a
process
 • This shape is used in a process

? flow to ask a question

• This shape is used to represent
a decision point in the process,
usually requiring a yes or no
response then branching to
different parts of the flowchart.
