type drawing Explanation: I have to agree with Deand G on this. However, the English term sort of implies that the drawing depicts a type of something rather than an actual object, so it may be completely wrong. I advise you to ask the owner of the source text for clarity. |

blueprint Explanation: I agree with Paul G that type drawing could imply a drawing depicting a specific type of something where the Swedish sentence seems more general in its meaning, almost as if it could have as well said "ritningarna" instead of "typritningarna". The best translation could just be the less obscure term "blueprint" in this case since it's now a very general term for a guide to making something or any kind of technical drawing. Not always the historic literal meaning of a schematic of white lines on blue paper. |

standard drawing Explanation: This seems to be the term used in UK and Australia Good examples in https://www.kirklees.gov.uk/beta/regeneration-and-developmen... and refs below "Type drawing" may be better suited to manufactured items e.g. machinery, rather than highway construction and also sounds Swinglish! https://www.hants.gov.uk/transport/developers/standard-details https://www.mainroads.wa.gov.au/BuildingRoads/StandardsTechnical/MainRoadsDrawings/Pages/Standard_Contract_Drawings.aspx |
