Summary
Engineering drawings are essential to communicate our designs to manufacturers, maintenance teams, or any other entity. Engineering drawings not only communicate dimensions; they can also communicate materials, part specifications, tolerances, and whatever an organization/individual takes as a practice or a standard to follow. In this chapter, we learned what engineering drawings are and their purpose. We also learned how to interpret different standards related to lines and drawing views. Being able to interpret drawings is a fundamental skill for working with SOLIDWORKS. However, as with other skills, it takes time and practice to master.
Next, we will work on a 3D-modeling project to create a pair of glasses. The project will provide you with comprehensive practice of all the topics covered from the beginning of the book to this chapter.
