Engineering Graphics

This introduction to engineering graphics employs current ANSI graphics standards and covers powerful modern techniques, including CADD methods. It assumes no previous graphics or programming experience, and shows the reader how to use a great variety of design, drafting, and analytical tools, including geometric constructions, visualization and sketching techniques, orthographics projection, lettering, and pictorial drawing. The book presents useful drawing conventions and methods of drawing sections with each technique supported by clear illustrations, many with real-life examples. The text will benefit architects and draftsmen.
