Create prototype 2D Drawing

completed by: Ilkin Musaev

mentors: Sean

BRL-CAD provides limited services for drafting features including the production of 2D CAD drawings (blueprints).

This task involves designing a 2D CAD drawing prototype. The prototype MUST capture a set of design requirements and follows industry conventions.

If you've never seen a real blueprint drawing before, then this task might be too hard for you. Your result needs to refer to ISO 128 and/or ASME Y14.41 or other standard drawing elements.

Basically, identifying a style of drawing that we should support including pointing out the critical elements to be included on each drawing, their location, size, placement, etc.
