Drafting/Drawings Reference
Drafting/Drawings Reference
(OP)
I am looking for a good reference (book or website) on proper drafting techniques for Machine Design. I am a relatively new Mechanical Engineer, and I am constantly stumbling when crating drawings. I eventually want to use GD&T callouts, but I want to be familiar with all callout symbols used in drawings. Basically I am looking for a good machinist/drafters guide to reading blueprint/drawings.
Thanks,
Jason

(I use very good local books myself - if you speak Croatian, tell me and I'll send you additonal proposals!)
Good luck!

for a publication explaining use of the American drafting standard: ASME Y14.5.

and type in drawing requirements manual in the title search box. This is a non-standard standard that should give you lots of information on drawings requirements.
