However, manual drafting probably will still be used at times. Many drafters specialize in an area. Architectural drafters draw features of buildings and other structures.
Aeronautical drafters prepare engineering drawings.
These are used to build aircraft and missiles. Civil drafters prepare drawings and maps. Their work is used in civil engineering projects. These projects include highways, pipelines, and water systems. Electrical drafters draw wiring and layout diagrams.
