Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'mechanical' (relating to machines or mechanics) with 'drawing' (making diagrams), so it denotes drawings for mechanical/engineering purposes; a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer this. The compound follows regular English modifier+noun composition and has clear equivalents in other languages, making the sense predictable rather than idiomatic.
Etymology
Mechanical drawing also means the skill of making those precise plans. To learn mechanical drawing is to learn to draw parts with exact lines and numbers, so the phrase means 'the practice of making technical drawings'.
