Blueprints Have Three Main Parts:


Drawing - Graphical representation that shows the exact
shape of a component.
Dimensions - Numbers that provide the measurements
of a piece of a drawing.
Notes - Include information that cannot be easily
identified on the drawing or other information needed to
fabricate the component. Some information may be
important and some may be irrelevant.
