Extensively revised and updated, this highly successful text provides fundamental treatment of engineering graphics, geometry and modeling. It reflects the most modern drafting procedures from the fundamentals to the techniques and practices in specialized fields for engineers and technologists.The authors cover all topics basic to the preparation of working drawings for both products and systems, including multiview drawing and freehand sketching, spatial geometry, and design and dimensioning practices
