"drafting board"の定義と意味

What is a "drafting board"?

A drafting board is a flat, smooth surface used for drawing or designing technical drawings, such as blueprints or architectural plans. It provides a stable and level base for using drawing tools like rulers, compasses, and protractors. Drafting boards are typically adjustable, allowing the user to set the board at a comfortable angle for drawing. They are commonly used by architects, engineers, and designers to create detailed and precise drawings. The surface of the board is often made of wood or other durable materials that are resistant to wear from drawing tools.
