Symbols on engineering drawings are standardized representations that convey specific information about features, materials, and processes without the need for extensive text. They can indicate dimensions, tolerances, surface finishes, welding requirements, and other critical details essential for manufacturing and assembly. Understanding these symbols ensures clear communication between engineers, manufacturers, and contractors, facilitating accurate interpretation and execution of design intent.

Why work to a recognised standard when producing engineering drawings?
The simplest answer is that working to a standard means that anyone can read the drawing. If there is no standard the symbols used on the drawing (weld type and size, surface finish, even the dimensioning of the components) would vary from one drawing (or draughtsperson) to another and cause confusion. Engineering drawings use a large number of symbols to denote operations and instructions (which reduces the time taken to draw them and the size of "paper" they're drawn on). Imagine the potential problems if one person used a symbol to mean "weld" and another one used the same (or similar) symbol to mean "do not weld".

How do you find engineering drawings?
It depends on what type of engineering drawings. If you want cutsheets for equipment, most manufacturers have drawings on their websites. But if you are looking for construction or assembly drawings manufacturers or companies will not have them available outside the company since these would be intelectual property.
