Sigo con la traducción de unos programas de estudios de un instituto universitario venezolano. En la asignatura llamada Trazados Usuales de Base, dice:
"Introducción
- Instrumentos de medida y modo de usarlos. **Trazado de base** (perpendiculares, paralelas, ángulos, bisectrices, división de segmentos de rectas y de círculos, empalmes), circunsferencia, tangentes, polígonos regulares, curvas técnicas (elipse, parábola, hipérbola, hélice)
¿Será algo así como "basic drawing"?
Muchas gracias por adelantado

elementary constructions
It refers to the basic geometric 'constructions' used by a draughtsman (not to be confused with 'construction' as in 'construction drawings', which are drawings of a building or other structure).

basic tracing
Literal translation. Tracing uses preformed shapes, unlike drawing which is usually freehand.

: I think trazado is a false friend here.

Trazado is tracing, although I agree it's not the right option in this case.

: The long list of examples of 'trazados de base', between the parentheses, tells us this is not right.

In this case, I agree :) In fact, if I'd seen your answer, I wouldn't even have posted mine...
