The Basics of Reading Engineering Drawings



Infinity MFG

This video discusses the basics of reading engineering drawings. It covers several fundamental topics:
1) The layout of the drawing
2) Title block
3) First VS third angle projection
4) Orthogonal versus isometric views
5) Assembly drawings, Exploded views
6) Section views and detailed views

  1. I have an online CAD course and there was no information about reading the drawings that we were supposed to model. Really great video, thank you!

  2. Glad I found your channel. I just started to retrain myself to be a Machinist at 54 years old. I don't know how realistic that is but I'm determined to learn. because I inherited my dads Late and Vertical mill and I would like to work out of my own shop again. This is a good video even if it made my brain hurt.

  3. Sir, at around 23:58 you have it reversed. The U.S. and Canada (basically North America) uses the ANSI standard 3rd angle projection, Europe uses ISO standards 1st angle projection. In 1st angle projection the Top View is displayed beneath the front view, and the Right side view is displayed to the LEFT of the front view. Thank you for your interesting videos, they are explained very well from the ones I have viewed.

  4. As a guy who does this for a living, I find it pretty useful to share your videos to someone, when they ask me to teach them about CAD drawings and stuff, you explain this stuff a lot better than I can, great job man, keep up the good work.

  5. In addition to first & third angle projection mistake, please, also note the mistake in Detail view section (around 16:50) – the scale is totally wrong. How it is possible to use such scale?! Please, refer to the final drawing (the flange plate around 21:20) and check the correct scale for detail views.This video should not be used by beginners at all. It plants a very, very wrong information and later it will confuse you. I already had a discussion with a person, whose main argument was "But, I saw it on YouTube channel – so it is true! Period!"

  6. Is it true that the top of the part in horizontal orientation while viewed in first angle projection or any layout is opposite of the title block? If the TB is located on the bottom right corner then the workpiece top would be on its left side yes?

  7. My instructor tossed a packet thicker than the bible and told us to figure it out, outside of class =( This may be basic info to veterans of the industry but for someone with no engineering background, the basics is the foundation and your method of teaching by far trumps how my instructor presented the same information. Bar-none.
