| Summary |
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 book is divided into two volumes: Volume I contains Chapters 1 to 5, where as Volume II comprises of Chapters 6 to 10. 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 gives the basic information a beginner needs to get started with drafting. Chapter 2 focuses on basic sketching tools and techniques. Chapter 3 discusses computer design drafting (CDD) systems and provides relevant information to make the student an informed user of the systems. Chapter 4 covers shape construction, the foundation of creating drawing views. Chapter 5 presents the principles and techniques for creating standard multiview drawings. Chapter 6 discusses auxiliary view creation, whereas Chapter 7 focuses on section view creation. Basic dimensioning is covered in Chapter 8. Isometric pictorials are presented in Chapter 9. Working drawings are covered in Chapter 10, the heart of drafting, and practical information is provided for creating them. The Appendix provides introductory discussions about screw fasteners, general and geometric tolerancing, and surface quality and symbols. |
