I can't read mechanical drawing so I'm trying to see if this video will help

I'm gonna be going into mechanical engineering and this video helped a lot and gave me a better view on the subject and how it works. Thank you.

It is entirely unclear to me how or when I learned mechanical drawing, but this is a *great* video and confirms that I've got a solid (!PUN!) understanding. Because I have no idea how I learned this, this video seems like a great way to teach folks!

I know what you mean, one time I took a ProEngineer class after self teaching for a few months, and I thought "wow I didn't realize how much I know how to do in ProE." Thanks for watching!

This is bringing back flashbacks of my Mechanical Drawing days. (Where second years had T-Squares strapped to their backpacks in the 80’s). I learned Front View, Side View and Top View. Those sequences will be forever etched in my brain. (I guess the Top View here - which he omitted- would simply have been just a square box). But I guess the top view might be superfluous in this example, because it is so simple.

Great video, I like the way you used one drawing to walk the student through the topic. It makes it much easier to understand and gives it a context.

Great video. I look at drawings almost daily and this helps a lot.

A great video, helps to put in perspective of various processess. When using a 3d CAD software, I never knew the problem associated with over-constrainig of dimensions, even though the sofware prompts to correct it. Now, it makes sense when thinking in terms of tolerances that can associate with these dimensions, and the ambiguity that a machinist may face, when reading the drawing. Thank you for a great content!

That's a very nice video. My only criticism with it is that you do not mention what type of projection you are using, which is third-angle projection, used in the USA, Canada, Australia (and the UK partially I think). In Europe and most of the world, first-angle projection is used, in which the side view is put on the opposite side (to the left) of the front view. It might not matter for simple parts like the ones you've shown, but it can potentially produce communication errors. This is why there's always a symbol showing which projection convention is used in the drawing template. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing#/media/File:Conventions_of_placing_vues_in_technical_drawings.svg en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing#Multiple_views_and_projections Still a pretty good job, everything presented is crystal clear, the 3D view at the left and the 2D projection at the right is a nice touch. It must have taken quite some time to prepare. Congrats!
