Updated to the latest ANSI, ISO, AWS, and ASME
standards, this 50th Anniversary Edition helps individuals
develop skills in reading and interpreting industrial drawings and
in preparing simple technical sketches.
It is written to be a consumable, interactive
text/workbook that provides basic principles, concepts, ANSI and SI
Metric drafting symbols and standards, terminology, manufacturing
process notes, and other related technical information contained on
a mechanical or CAD drawing.
Each unit features a basic principle and at least
one blueprint and assignment that encourages users to practice newly
learned skills
Features:
- expanded coverage on geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
has been updated to the most current ANSI standards
- major enhancements to the graphics and line quality of

developing print reading skills with accuracy

manageable chunks of information with abundant assignments
(including sketching) that serve to engage reader interest
