Any engineering drawing should show everything: a complete understanding of the object should be possible from the drawing. If the isometric drawing can show all details and all dimensions on one drawing, it is ideal. One can pack a great deal of information into an isometric drawing. However, if the object in figure 2 had a hole on the back side, it would not be visible using a single isometric drawing. In order to get a more complete view of the object, an orthographic projection may be used.
Which views should one choose for a multiview drawing? The views that reveal every detail about the object. Three views are not always necessary; we need only as many views as are required to describe the object fully. For example, some objects need only two views, while others need four. The circular object in figure 6 requires only two views.
To prepare a drawing, one can use manual drafting instruments (figure 12) or computer-aided drafting or design, or CAD. The basic drawing standards and conventions are the same regardless of what design tool you use to make the drawings. In learning drafting, we will approach it from the perspective of manual drafting. If the drawing is made without either instruments or CAD, it is called a freehand sketch.
This cross-sectional view (section A-A, figure 17), one that is orthogonal to the viewing direction, shows the relationships of lengths and diameters better. These drawings are easier to make than isometric drawings. Seasoned engineers can interpret orthogonal drawings without needing an isometric drawing, but this takes a bit of practice.
The diagonal lines on the section drawing are used to indicate the area that has been theoretically cut. These lines are called section lining or cross-hatching. The lines are thin and are usually drawn at a 45-degree angle to the major outline of the object. The spacing between lines should be uniform.
A second, rarer, use of cross-hatching is to indicate the material of the object. One form of cross-hatching may be used for cast iron, another for bronze, and so forth. More usually, the type of material is indicated elsewhere on the drawing, making the use of different types of cross-hatching unnecessary.
Usually hidden (dotted) lines are not used on the cross-section unless they are needed for dimensioning purposes. Also, some hidden lines on the non-sectioned part of the drawings are not needed (figure 12) since they become redundant information and may clutter the drawing.
This drawing is symmetric about the horizontal centerline. Centerlines (chain-dotted) are used for symmetric objects, and also for the center of circles and holes. We can dimension directly to the centerline, as in figure 31. In some cases this method can be clearer than just dimensioning between surfaces.
Manual of Engineering Drawing: British and International Standards, Fifth Edition, chronicles ISO and British Standards in engineering drawings, providing many examples that will help readers understand how to translate engineering specifications into a visual medium. The book includes 6 introductory chapters which provide foundational theory and contextual information regarding the broader context of engineering drawing and design. The concepts enclosed will help readers gain the most out of their drawing skills. As the standards referred to in this book change every few years, this new edition presents an important update.

It also gave us the opportunity to further enhance the manual's content by introducing a new chapter on design for additive manufacture. This chapter basic information on what can be achieved by the various processed used in additive manufacturing and also tips on what to do and not do when designing products. Additive manufacturing technology is developing all the time and this chapter is not intended to be a definitive design guide, the reader should refer to their Additive Manufacturing provider for the latest information on what is possible.
These days, with the capabilities of CAD systems being able to almost automatically construct projections and developments of parts modelled it could be said that the author of a drawing does not necessarily need to know how to do the same using traditional methods in 2D. We disagree and believe that it is essential that engineers understand the principles of construction say to draw an ellipse, helix, cycloid or cams and gears as this gives the engineer a good understanding of geometry which is not necessarily taught extensively today.
The text that follows covers the basic aspects of engineering drawing practice required by college and university students, and also professional design and drawing office personnel. Applications show how regularly used standards should be applied and interpreted.
Geometrical constructions are a necessary part of engineering design and analysis, and examples of two-and three-dimensional geometry are provided. Practice is invaluable, not only as a means of understanding principles, but in developing the ability to visualize shape and form in three dimensions with a high degree of fluency. It is sometimes forgotten that not only do designers produce original drawings, but they are also required to read and absorb the content of drawings they receive, without ambiguity.
The section on engineering diagrams has been retrained to stimulate and broaden technological interest and further study and be of value to students engaged on project work. Readers are invited to redraw a selection of the examples given for experience, and also to appreciate the necessity for the insertion and meaning of every line.
In conclusion, may we wish all readers every success in their studies and careers. We hope they will obtain much satisfaction from employment in the absorbing activities related to creative design and considerable pleasure from the construction and presentation of accurately defined engineering drawings incapable of misinterpretation.
Every article used in our day-to-day lives will probably have been produced as a result of solutions to a sequence of operations and considerations. This chapter covers the design process from Conception to Disposal and offers typical management organization which could deliver the process. This chapter also describes how Computer Aided Design (CAD) and drawing practice fits into the management organization/design process and provides guidance on the implementation of CAD into an organization and through life considerations. This chapter also outlines drawing standards and has historical information on the introduction of BS8888 in 2000 which replaced BS308 and the differences between them. It is important to note that although BS8888 has been in existence for some 19 years BS 308 is still widely used.
Historically, various types of drawings, sketches and paintings have been used to convey ideas and information. Now, 3D models, rapid prototypes and animated 3D presentations have become a common way of conveying design intent. However, a good recognizable picture will often remove ambiguity when a project is being discussed and assist in overcoming a possible language barrier.
During the early days of the Industrial Revolution manufacturers simply compared and copied component dimensions to match those used on the prototype. However, with the introduction of quantity production where components were required to be made at different factory sites, measurement by more precise means was essential. Individual manufacturers developed their own standard methods. Clearly, for the benefit of industry in general a National Standard was vital. Later the more comprehensive British Standard of Limits and Fits was introduced. There are two clear aspects, which are necessary to be considered in the specification of component drawings:
