Intending to go in for technical drawing? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

planning

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

'intending' is the definition.
(planning is a kind of intending)

'go in for technical drawing?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
'drawing?' could be 'plan' (plan is a kind of drawing) and 'plan' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for planning that I've seen before include "Preparation for future" , "Intending or preparing" , "Arranging beforehand" , "Scheming; designing" , "Organisation" .)
