Written out of the need to develop comprehensive approaches to teaching engineering drawing and modeling concepts with VersaCAD software, this text describes how to make applied use of the software for engineering CAD applications. A complete teaching package with text, exercise disk, and special electronic transparencies disk, it offers a unique look at the integration of both 2D and 3D CAD topics. For those using or teaching VersaCAD software for CAD instruction.
Based on time-proven techniques, this volume covers the essentials of engineering drawing. It describes and analyzes geometric shapes in the form of orthogonal, pictorial, auxiliary or sectional views. Emphasis is on engineering drawing and concepts that are transferable to CADD. This concise workbook begins with an exploration of the functions of engineering drawings within the engineering design process, then presents the theory of multiview drawing and size description along with freehand, mechanical, and CADD fundamentals.
