Engineeringg drawing iss a graphicaal representaation of the real
r three diimensional oobjects on a two
ddimensionaal drawing shheet of papeer. It providdes us with nnecessary innformation aabout the shape, size,
ssurface quality, materiaal, manufactturing proceess, etc., of tthe object. IIn other wayys, we can simply
s say
tthat it is a universal
u lannguage from
m which a traained personn irrespectivve of languaage barriers can
eeffectively uuse to visuaalize and interpret objeccts. Besides that, an enggineering drrawing is a ttype of
ddrawing thaat is technicaal in nature see figure 1.1
1 below. Itt fully and cclearly definnes the requuirements for
m
manufacturiing of varioous parts or operation
o prrinciples of a system. Itt is usually prepared
p in accordancee
w
with basic principles
