HandBook of Geometric and Engineering Drawing

Introduction of Book :

Engineering drawings have been used to convey clear information about an object or system for many decades. They are graphic representations of products and depict how an object is designed, how it functions and how it is supposed to be manufactured and assembled.With the advent of comprehensive computer-aided design (CAD) programs, the way engineering drawings are created significantly changed. The introduction of three-dimensional (3D) CAD systems especially has revolutionised the approach for conveying the Specifications of a technical product.

Although the tools for creating engineering drawings have changed dramatically with time, the underlying principles are still the same. The fundamentals of descriptive geometry are still necessary for many applications of geometric drawing, and the same conventions and best practices still apply to the drafting process. Despite the rapid pace of computational improvements and the resulting possibilities of supporting and rationalising the drafting process, the basic concepts of geometric and engineering drawing have lost nothing of their relevance.
