A drafter, draughtsman (British English) or draftsman (American English) is a person who prepares technical drawings and plans under the direction of an architect or engineer. It should be noted that a Drafter is not the same as a Designer and likewise, Designer is not an Americanism for Drafter. This can be difficult to comprehend to some older drafters who have limited experience in modern practices.
In the past, drafters sat at drawing boards and used pencils, pens, compasses, protractors, triangles, and other drafting devices to prepare a drawing by hand. From the 1980s through 1990s it seemed like board drawings were going out of style as the newly developed computer-aided design (CAD) system was released and was able to produce technical drawings at a faster pace. But, board drafting still remains the base of the CAD system. Consequently, some drafters may be referred to as CAD operators.
With CAD systems, drafters can create and store drawings electronically so that they can be viewed, printed, or programmed directly into automated manufacturing systems. CAD systems also permit drafters to quickly prepare variations of a design. Although drafters use CAD extensively, it is only a tool. Drafters still need knowledge of traditional drafting techniques, in addition to CAD skills. Despite the near global use of CAD systems, manual drafting and sketching are used in certain applications.
