Description: This concentrates on the main concepts and principles of technical graphics and provides users with the information they need most in an easy and straightforward manner. The chapters and topics are organized in a sequence that makes learning a gradual transition from one level to another. However, each chapter is presented in a self-contained manner and may be studied separately. In each chapter, techniques are presented for implementing the topics treated. Chapter 1 discusses the guidelines for drafting. Chapter 2 presents the principles and techniques for creating standard multiview drawings. Chapter 3 discusses auxiliary view creation, whereas Chapter 4 focuses on section view creation. Basic dimensioning is covered in Chapter 5. Isometric pictorials are presented in Chapter 6. Working drawings are covered in Chapter 7, the heart of drafting, and practical information is provided for creating them. The Appendices provide introductory discussions about screw fasteners, general and geometric tolerancing, and surface quality and symbols. This book is designed as a material for instruction and study for students and instructors of engineering, engineering technology, and design technology. It should be useful to technical consultants, design project managers, computer design drafting (CDD) managers, design supervisors, design engineers, and everyone interested in learning the fundamentals of design drafting. The book is written with full cognizance of current standards of American National Standards Institute/American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ANSI/ASME). The style is plain, and discussions are straight to the point. Its principal goal is meeting the needs of first- and second-year students in engineering, engineering technology, design technology, and related disciplines.
