Engineering Drawing: Chapter 13 roles of engineering drawing
The document discusses the roles and importance of engineering drawings, including visualization, communication, documentation, and how computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) has evolved the process. It outlines the engineering design process and provides examples of how sketches and drawings are used to generate, evaluate, and select solutions to design problems. CADD capabilities like drawing, modifying, and using solid modeling have advantages over traditional drafting but still require the user to understand drawing concepts.

What is “EngineeringDesign” ? “ Engineering design is a systematic process by which solutions to the needs of humankind are obtained. “ Design is the process of conceiving or inventing ideas and communicating those ideas to others in a form that is understood easily.” “ Design is the act of creating the specifications for a product or process that best satisfies the design criteria.

- 32. Limitation of CADD(within scope of drawing creation ) Good engineering drawings must have the following characteristics. Always remind yourself that “Good drawing cannot be created by using CADD software alone without understanding the drawing concepts.” Parts or product information is completely given. Information is clearly presented . Information can be used in manufacturing of part.
- 33. Apply aproper line weight and style. Select a necessary view. Decide the appropriate places of dimensions. Select an appropriate section techniques (if necessary) Limitation of CADD (within scope of drawing creation ) To create a good engineering drawings YOU MUST do the following tasks yourself.
- 34. Limitation of CADD(within scope of drawing interpretation ) Because they are frequently used technical document. Therefore, YOU MUST prepare yourself for interpreting (or visualizing) them when you become ENGINEER . No CADD software can create a pictorial view from an orthographic multiview.
