I am not commonly writing here but I know there are many tech-buffs when it comes to handicrafts lurking around. My question is as follows: I want to learn technical drawing. Are there any good resources on the matter? >tl;dr: Please give me resources to learn technical drawing from beginner to advanced level on your own.
>>2979179 well... i looked at it and i must say: i like "Technical Drawing by Frederick Giesecke" better. found it on fmhy.net reddit had this recommendation for look-up. but thanks. no need to worry about compensation.
>>2979180 mostly agree there, anon. never been there, though. so can only tell from web experience and few real encounters.
>>2979268 ISO rotates around a pivot, simple, makes sense from a top-down perspective, you're rolling a cube. With ANSI you roll and slide, very awkward.
>>2979227 I'm from there. While most of them are retarded, the same holds true for most of the world as well. You'll find tons of jackasses everywhere you go.
>>2979180 I remember being taught that you only need three views in order to make an isometric projection drawing. I live in Mexico, so I got taught that by default the three views in ANSI-style blueprints are front, top, and right. How's it usually done for ISO-style blueprints?
>>2979270 >>2979787 I still don't get it. I can imagine both of them rotating around a pivot, except ISO rotates above the page while ANSI rotates below the page. Otherwise it's still the exact same.
>>2979178 >I want to learn technical drawing I realize that you grew up in a period of time when you weren't allowed to play outside, and roam the streets or nearby wooded areas. You never knew a time when your parents sent you to the corner store (by yourself) to buy milk, eggs, or bread. that you had helicopter parents, and only ever played video games, but today you grow up, today you learn how to do things yourself. be an adult... be a man. figure it out for yourself.
>>2979867 It's just habit. That said, third-angle is objectively superior because it places auxiliary views next to their location on the primary view (imagine something long like a bus) and it still breaks my brain that Americans (and Anglos) got something right for once. It's also hard to see how first-angle came to be preferred anywhere (except as an act of contrarianism somehow) since when manually drafting it requires you draw/track your guidelines all the way through the existing views when creating new ones.
>>2979923 thanks. read it. well... i am 31 years old now and just am amazed by the technical drawings in general. they are the most precise, they are super easy to comprehend and i want to learn it. we are in the age of computer, but the age of free information is kind of closing. there are certain websites. there are certain books. there is still some kind of connectivity by internet. but it turned... shallow.
well... usa did more things good. thanks for your insights on the matter. despite being a bit rough. i am a bit rough myself.
>>2979227 I'll second Giesecke. I have the 4th edition (1958). Used to be a thrift store staple when every engineer took drafting. Maybe it still is. You can probably skip everything after the sketching chapter (chapter 5 in mine) unless you want to be a draftsman or CAD designer.
>>2979178 >>2981196 As in technical drawing by hand? It's not super hard. I learned it in middle school in the late 90s. It's mainly a matter of understanding space and perspective and working cleanly. The latter was the harder part for me.
>>2979291 Not sure what the video is supposed to demostrate, there's no difference between ansi and iso for which faces are labeled what. The difference is where the diagram for each face is located on a technical drawing, as seen here: >>2979180
>>2979270 iso makes more sense from an angular point of view, and making operations is way better, if you are going to look at it from a super basic perspective ansi is "better" >>2979291
>>2979270 They both roll across a surface. With ANSI, the surface is in front of the object. With ISO, the surface is behind the object. I'm more used to ANSI by convention, largely because I expect the top to be on top, but either way I get it.
