• Numerous drafting problems are presented as pictorial illustrations or design layouts. This requires that you determine the correct views, dimensions, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing placement. • Drafting problems range from basic to advanced. • Drafting problems can be completed using manual or computer-aided design and drafting techniques. GD&T is a natural for CADD applications. Appendix A of this text explains how GD&T is applied using the tools of a CADD system. • Symbols are detailed throughout the text to demonstrate proper drafting standards. • Drafting rules and standards are emphasized for proper applications. • A comprehensive final exam is provided to solidify the learning that has been conducted throughout the course of study. Final exam answers can be written on the textbook pages unless otherwise specified by your instructor. Organization This text is organized in a manner that is similar to the organization of topics in ASME Y14.5-2009. The following summarizes the chapter sequence and coverage of related topics in ASME Y14.5-2009: Chapter 1: Dimensioning and Tolerancing • Definitions and general dimensioning applications. • General tolerancing and related principles. Chapter 2: Introduction to Symbols and Terms • Symbology and related terminology. Chapter 3: Datums • Datum symbols, terminology, and applications. Chapter 4: Material Condition and Material Boundary • Material condition symbols, terminology, and applications. Chapter 5: Form Tolerances • Form tolerances and applications.
