(definition/master) drawing

I have come across this a multitude of times, and am always tempted to translate it simply as "drawing". In British engineering, it's either the drawing or it isn't, but the French do love to spell things out. "Definition drawing" is a bit cumbersome; I suppose "master drawing" would cover it, but still slightly redundant.
Note from asker:
It cannot be anything else. "Drawing is Ok!"
Peer comment(s):

agree Charles Hawtrey (X) : 'Master drawing' seems best, and correct in this type of context. Certainly the word must be translated here. Simply a 'drawing' could include a modified print, I suppose.
