cutaway

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'engineer's drawing' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'share of profits on tour?' is the wordplay.
'share of profits' becomes 'cut' (I've seen this before).
'on tour?' becomes 'away' (eg away on holiday).
'cut'+'away'='CUTAWAY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cutaway that I've seen before include "Diagram with areas removed to show inside" , "Interior-revealing diag." .)
