2. Provide a step-by-step guide for creating patent drawings, including the necessary views (e.g., front, side, perspective) and labeling conventions.
3. Explain how to accurately depict the invention's function, ensuring all key components are visible and clearly referenced.
4. List the technical specifications that must be met, such as line thickness, shading, and numbering.
5. Recommend tools and software that are commonly used for patent drawings.

Output format

• A structured guide with numbered steps and bullet points for specifications.
