1. Geometric symbols: These symbols represent various geometric shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, etc. They are used to indicate the shape and size of objects in a technical drawing.
2. Dimensioning symbols: These symbols are used to indicate the dimensions of various features in a technical drawing, such as length, width, height, and angles.
3. Surface texture symbols: These symbols are used to indicate the surface finish of an object in a technical drawing, such as roughness, smoothness, or texture.
4. Welding symbols: These symbols are used to indicate the type of weld that should be used to join two or more objects together in a technical drawing.
5. Electrical symbols: These symbols are used to represent various electrical components and connections in a technical drawing, such as resistors, capacitors, switches, and wires.
6. Piping symbols: These symbols are used to represent various piping components and connections in a technical drawing, such as valves, fittings, and pipes.
7. Architectural symbols: These symbols are used to represent various architectural features in a technical drawing, such as doors, windows, walls, and stairs.

Descriptive Symbols:
- Conventional symbols: Represent specific objects, features, or processes (e.g., welding symbols, electrical symbols, geometric symbols)
- Dimensioning symbols: Indicate the size, shape, and location of features (e.g., diameter, length, angle)
Schematic Symbols:
- Circuit diagrams: Represent electrical circuits using simplified symbols for wires, resistors, capacitors, etc.
- Flow charts: Depict the flow of processes, data, or materials using standard symbols for start, stop, decision, input, output, etc.
Geometric Symbols:
- Lines: Types include visible lines, hidden lines, center lines, etc., indicating the shape, surface, or other characteristics of features
- Planes: Symbols used to indicate the boundaries of flat surfaces or cross-sections
- Circles and arcs: Represent curved shapes and circles
Tolerancing Symbols:
- Tolerance symbols: Specify the permissible variation in size, shape, or position of features
- Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) symbols: Advanced symbols that define specific geometric relationships between features (e.g., straightness, perpendicularity, parallelism)
Annotation Symbols:
- Notes and specifications: Textual information that provides additional details or requirements
- Symbols for notes: Arrows, brackets, etc., that indicate the reference point for notes
- Symbols for revisions: Flags or bubbles that indicate changes made to the drawing
Auxiliary Symbols:
- Title block: Contains information about the drawing, such as title, revision, scale, etc.
- Bill of materials (BOM): Lists the components and quantities used in the assembly
- Symbols for cross-sections: Indicate the location and orientation of cross-sections
- Conventional symbols: Represent specific objects, features, or processes (e.g., welding symbols, electrical symbols, geometric symbols)
- Dimensioning symbols: Indicate the size, shape, and location of features (e.g., diameter, length, angle)
