Engineering drawing books

<p>What is the best Engineering drawing book to study that is cheap?</p>

<p>What is an engineering drawing book?</p>

<p>I’m guessing he’s talking about drafting, but yes, we need some clarity.</p>

<p>like technical drawing, drawing orthographic projection images and doing section views</p>

<p>Any particular reason you’re not just going to wait until you take a course in this? There’s really no point in learning this beforehand. I don’t really know of any good books and I learned it in middle school, high school, and college. For the most part, it was just the teacher/professor teaching us. We had a textbook in my high school course, but to learn the basics, we didn’t really need it.</p>

<p>I assume we’re talking about drafting by hand and not CAD.</p>

<p>Do people draft by hand any longer? The last time I did was in 1992, doing shop drawings for a long bridge when I was nine months pregnant - leaning over the drafting board was a killer. I don’t miss manual drafting at all!</p>

<p>'Practice makes perfect. I’m already in an engineering course but i like drawing out my images and then applying to computer plus I’m having an exam on this stuff like next week.</p>

<p>So you have an exam on a subject that wasn’t covered in class? Or are you already in a technical drawings class and want a supplemental text?</p>

<p>I see absolutely no reason for a supplemental text. The techniques are not difficult; you just have to know them and be neat.</p>

<p>Can someone please recommend a book?</p>

<p>Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky, best thing I ever read. Even unseated Lord of the Rings as my official favorite novel, which I thought would never happen.</p>

<p>whatever delete post please</p>
