Lesson 1 Reading Drawing Text From earliest times, people have communicated their thoughts through drawings. The pictorial representation of an idea is a vital line of communication between the designer and the people who produce the final product. Technological design would be impossible were it not for the several different ways an idea may be represented by a drawing. The drawing also provides an important testing phase for an idea. Many times an idea may be rejected at the drawing board stage before a large investment is made to equip a manufacturing facility and risk production of an item that does not meet the design requirements. This does not mean that all design problems can be solved in the drafting room. Almost anything can be represented by a drawing, even those designs that would be quite impossible to manufacture. It is important that the designer be aware of the problems that confront the machinist. On the other hand, you must fully understand all of the symbols and terminology on the designer’s drawing. You must then interpret these terms and symbols in order to transform the ideas of the designer into useful products. Isometric Drawing An isometric drawing（Fig. 1.1）is one method used to represent an object in three dimensions. In the isometric format, the lines of the object remain parallel and the object is drawn about the three isometric axes that are 120 degrees apart. Oblique Drawing Object lines in the oblique drawing（Fig.1.2）also remain parallel. The oblique differs from the isometric in that one axis of the object is parallel to the plane of the drawing. Isometric and oblique are not generally used as working drawings for the machinist. However, you may occasionally see them in the machine shop. Exploded Drawings The exploded drawing（Fig. 1.3）is a type of pictorial drawing designed to show several parts in their proper location prior to assembly. Although the exploded view is not used as the working drawing for the machinist, it has an impo
