For beginners learning engineering drawing, where should they start?
Actually, there’s no need to post such a thread; there are already plenty of related posts on the forum, so it’s better to take a look at those first
First of all, it’s great that you’re not too proud to ask questions! But it’s completely possible to master it by using the materials on this website! You can also get a written version; read more and practice more! :handshake :handshake
You need to learn the basic knowledge, such as spatial imagination and three-view drawings
Learn descriptive geometry and solid geometry
1. First, study <Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Drawing> 2. Learn more specialized drawing skills. Such as mechanical drawing, civil engineering drawing, and so on.
By combining theory with practice, after mastering descriptive geometry, one should go to factories or construction sites to gain familiarity with the practical applications. Once one understands the relevant drawing rules, it is also necessary to work on improving spatial visualization skills. Additionally, one should practice converting between two-dimensional and three-dimensional representations, as well as working through exercise sets related to descriptive geometry
The most fundamental aspect of engineering drawing is knowing how to use drawing software such as CAD; followed by knowledge in areas like processes and instrumentation
I have previously published CAD lecture notes; you might want to take a look
