En dessin technique, le croquis est la première étape du dessin de description, destiné à représenter les différents objets à exécuter ou à fabriquer. Le croquis est exécuté à main levée, c'est-à-dire sans le secours d'instruments guides, sur papier à dessin ordinaire ou sur papier millimétré; il est fait parfois sur le terrain même s'il s'agit, par exemple, d'un relevé topographique ou de bâtiment. Cependant, si l'on excepte le croquis rapide, destiné simplement à jeter des idées sur le papier, le croquis à main levée doit comporter toute précision utile à l'exécution des dessins plus poussés, qui seront exécutés d'après lui, soit à main levée (études) ou aux instruments (avant-projet, dessin d'exécution). Par conséquent, les cotes, les dimensions, les rapports doivent être exacts afin qu'il n'y ait pas de confusion possible lors de la mise au net. 2, record 1, French, - croquis
