About This eBook
ePUB is an open, industry-standard format for eBooks. However, support of ePUB and its many features varies across reading devices and applications. Use your device or app settings to customize the presentation to your liking. Settings that you can customize often include font, font size, single or double column, landscape or portrait mode, and figures that you can click or tap to enlarge. For additional information about the settings and features on your reading device or app, visit the device manufacturers Web site.
Many titles include programming code or configuration examples. To optimize the presentation of these elements, view the eBook in single-column, landscape mode and adjust the font size to the smallest setting. In addition to presenting code and configurations in the reflowable text format, we have included images of the code that mimic the presentation found in the print book; therefore, where the reflowable format may compromise the presentation of the code listing, you will see a Click here to view code image link.

Sheet Layouts
Useful sheet size and title block information is shown here. All of the dimensions are in inches except for , where the example on the right is in millimeters and shows a typical tolerance block for a metric drawing.
Most CAD systems provide standard title blocks that you can insert automatically. Use layouts similar to these or blocks available in your CAD system as assigned by your instructor. If assigned, use the proportions shown here and design your own custom title block that provides the necessary information.

About this Book
The sixteenth edition of Gieseckes Technical Drawing with Engineering Graphics is a comprehensive introduction and detailed reference for creating 3D models and 2D documentation drawings.
Continuing its reputation as a trusted reference, this edition is updated to convey recent standards for documenting 2D drawings and 3D CAD models. It provides excellent integration of its hallmark illustrations with text and contemporary examples, and consistent navigational features make it easy to find important information.
This edition illustrates the application of both 3D and 2D modeling and technical drawing skills to real-world work practice and integrates drawing and CAD skills in a variety of disciplines. Reviewers advised us on how to make Technical Drawing with Engineering Graphics a superb guide and resource for todays students.
Updated Content
Coverage of 3D design and modeling techniques
Updated for current ASME standards, particularly for GD&T and surface finish symbology
