How to read Industrial technical drawing [ complete guide ]

A blueprint for any manufacturing Industry.

Industrial drawing offers detailed information in the form of geometries, tolerances, dimensions, etc. Reading an Industrial drawing is one of the most complex parts of an Engineers' job, as the final product performance more or less depends on how one interprets it.

Engineering drawing is not just about some 2d views & dimensions, but it is a graphical language that helps designers communicate their ideas & information.

Industrial drawing has the purpose to serve-

• Convey all the information & requirement to manufacture a product,

• It helps to enhance the performance of the final product.

• It helps to make Design communication within Teams & Clients.

As we always hear, Drawing is the language of a mechanical engineer.

So before we step into the industry, as an engineer it’s important that we know this language & this can be a big advantage for you while you work in the industry.

Here you will get deep insights into Engineering drawing & we assure you that there’s nothing beyond this that you as an Engineer should be worried about.

If you’re interested in learning more, our 10-day course will teach you how to read, understand & interpret drawing very precisely. The course has been divided into a total of 10 phases, few of them are as below:

Table of content

1. Course Introduction ( 5 Episodes )

• What & why engineering drawing is needed.

• Confusion resolved - Drafting and drawing.

• Introduction to the panelists.

2. Drawing Sizes & Folding(5 episodes)

• Importance of Drawing folding & if not done rightly what are its consequences.

3. Everything about the angle of projection.

• To be a master at drawing reading, it is a must that you know the angle of projections & the mystery behind this. We have covered this in an interactive way in 6 episodes.

4. Core Content (7 episode)

• The most undiscovered part that has been covered here is ‘Drawing template’, verification of 2D views, understanding about Major & subsidiary views & also how to relate it with views.

5. Everything about dimensions (5 episodes)

• Here you get major insights about dimensions, techniques to reading & relating them with Drawing views.

• Also, deep insights on Absolute, Incremental & Hole tables & also how & when to use them.

6. BOM & Balloons ( 3 Episodes )

• You will know why we need BOM & balloons.

• How it helps industries & engineers.

7. Things to never forget. ( 7 episode )

• This phase covers some real-time incidents that you will come across & which actually happen in the industry, majorly due to lack of awareness about the importance of drawing.
