Abstract
There is an intensive growth of sociotechnical tools which are helpful for various tasks. These tools are becoming more and more visual, semiotic, graphic in contrast to written texts. A particularly appropriate domain for their use is individual or collaborative design. In the context of a project, graphical tools play a significant role both in the process of the development of a solution and in the representation of its result. Semiotic tools are widely used in scientific and technical training as well as in professional practice related to engineering. There are two types of graphical tools: some need to be taught, others are used without any training but call for tacit knowledge. In addition, there are tools for specific domains which can be utilized by other professions.
