Document Summary

An engineering drawing is a technical drawing which clearly defines and communicates a design to other interested parties. Method: select a view from the most advantageous position, observe overall structure first, note: parallelism, proportions and alignment. In some cases the previous rules conflict, and when this is so, rule 1 has preference as the advantage gained by having the irregular face without distortion is greater than that gained by observing rule. 2: decisions about viewing an object in oblique projection should aim to show the object so that its shape is most clearly presented and is conducive to showing its dimensions. An engineering detail drawing contains the key points to enable the manufacture or description of a single component that defines and communicated part of a complete design to other interested parties. Three regular views, could have more or less. Well located with the exception of the plan view which has three dimensions located within the view.
