The term draftspeople, commonly used as a gender-neutral alternative to the traditional draftsmen, can also be interchanged with several other synonyms. Draftsperson, for one, is a variation of the same term. Other options include drafter, designer, and technician. These terms all refer to individuals who use computer-aided design (CAD) software and other tools to create technical drawings, blueprints, schematics, and other technical specifications. Some other variations of the term that are less commonly used include arranger, artist, and engineer. Regardless of the specific term used, all these individuals play a critical part in bringing plans and ideas to life through the use of technical drawings.
