Preface
This text teaches technical drawing and uses AutoCAD 2023 as its drawing instrument. Although it follows the general format of many technical drawing texts and presents much of the same material about drawing conventions and practices, the emphasis is on creating accurate, clear drawings. For example, the text shows how to locate dimensions on a drawing so that they completely define the object in accordance with ASME Y14.5-2009 national standards, but the presentation centers on the AutoCADs Dimensions panel and its associated tools and options. The standards and conventions are presented and their applications are shown with the use of AutoCAD 2023. This integrated teaching concept is followed throughout the text.
Most chapters include drawing problems. The drawing problems are varied in scope and are open-ended, which means that there are several correct solutions. This is intended to encourage student creativity and increase their problem-solving abilities.
