What is a Draftswoman?
A draftswoman is a person who creates technical drawings and plans for buildings, bridges, and other structures. She may work under the supervision of an architect or engineer, or she may be responsible for creating the final drawings from which the structure will be built. Draftswomen typically use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create their drawings, but they may also use traditional drafting tools such as drafting tables and T-squares.
To become a draftswoman, one typically needs to have a strong background in math and geometry, as well as experience with CAD software. Many draftswomen hold associate's or bachelor's degrees in drafting or a related field, although some may learn their skills through on-the-job training or apprenticeships.
Some common tasks that a draftswoman might perform include:
* Creating detailed drawings of building plans and elevations
* Preparing construction documents, including blueprints and specifications
* Collaborating with architects, engineers, and other members of the design team
* Using CAD software to create 3D models and animations
* Reviewing and revising drawings to ensure accuracy and compliance with building codes and regulations.
