Summary

This book integrates traditional discipline-based teaching materials, de-emphasizes the disciplinary system, and combines mechanical drawing with AutoCAD in teaching. Classes basically use AutoCAD as the drawing tool to teach students mechanical drawing. In addition, enterprises now commonly use computer drawing, and AutoCAD drawing has become an indispensable skill for many majors. To help students better master this skill, many majors have changed the assessment method of this course to certification in place of examination, based on students obtaining the intermediate and advanced certificates for computer-aided design drafters from the provincial vocational skills appraisal center. Therefore, this course directly introduces the content of intermediate and advanced CAD certification into teaching. Thus, this textbook aims to integrate some certification skill requirements with the content of mechanical drawing to meet students' needs for learning and certification. The book is divided into 11 chapters, including: basic knowledge and skills of drawing, fundamentals of computer drawing, fundamentals of projection, intersection lines of solids and surfaces, composite solids, axonometric drawings, expression methods for machine parts, standard parts and commonly used parts, etc.

Editor's review

The organization of this textbook is quite practical: instead of following the traditional sequence of first teaching projection theory and then learning software separately, it integrates mechanical drawing with AutoCAD, and classes basically use AutoCAD as the drawing tool to teach drafting, so students learn drafting standards while practicing software operations. This arrangement matches the reality that enterprises generally use computer drawing, and it also facilitates the practice in many programs of substituting certificate requirements for exams, directly incorporating into teaching the skill requirements of the intermediate and advanced computer-aided design drafter certificates from the provincial vocational skills appraisal center. The eleven chapters range from basic drafting knowledge and fundamentals of computer drawing to projection, composite solids, methods of expressing machine parts, and standard components, covering the main skill points required for certification. It is suitable for students in mechanical and related majors at higher vocational colleges and for learners who need to obtain CAD drafter certificates. Readers are advised to practice in the software while reading, turning each chapter's drafting knowledge into practical drawing ability.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Students in mechanical and related majors at higher vocational colleges who need a course textbook integrating drafting and AutoCAD
  • Learners preparing for the intermediate and advanced computer-aided design drafter certificates who want teaching aligned with certification
  • Technicians newly entering the mechanical manufacturing industry who need to make up drafting standards and basic computer drawing
  • Self-learners who prefer learning by doing and want software operation to drive mastery of drafting knowledge

Not a good fit for

  • Readers already proficient in AutoCAD with a solid drafting foundation who seek advanced 3D design content
  • Readers in other drafting fields such as architecture or electrical engineering who need standards specific to those fields
  • Purely theory-oriented readers who only want to understand drafting theory and do not intend to operate software

Reading tips

  1. Open AutoCAD and follow Chapter 2, Fundamentals of Computer Drawing, operating in sync to become familiar with the software interface and common commands.
  2. After each chapter's drafting knowledge, immediately redraw the example figures in the book using the software so that knowledge and operation correspond.
  3. Readers preparing for the drafter certificate should organize key points from each chapter according to certification skill requirements, focusing on composite solids and methods of expressing machine parts.
  4. When encountering difficulties with projection or intersection lines, first sketch by hand to understand spatial relationships, then use the software to verify the drawing.

FAQ

Can I study this book directly without a foundation in AutoCAD?
Yes. Chapter 2 is Fundamentals of Computer Drawing, starting from software basics, and the overall organization uses AutoCAD as the drawing tool to teach drafting, so readers with zero foundation can study in chapter order. It is advisable to operate on a computer while reading rather than only reading without practice; otherwise software commands are easily forgotten.
Can this book be used to prepare for the drafter certificate?
Yes. When the textbook was compiled, it directly incorporated the skill requirements of the intermediate and advanced computer-aided design drafter certificates from the provincial vocational skills appraisal center, and many programs also use certificates in place of exams. When preparing, organize the skill points of each chapter against the certification outline and focus on commonly tested content such as composite solids, methods of expressing machine parts, and standard components.
Are the drafting standards in the book the latest national standards?
This book was published in 2025 and, following textbook conventions, is compiled according to current national standards. However, national standards are occasionally updated; when specific standard provisions are involved in study or practical work, it is advisable to refer to the latest published original national standards, using the provisions in the book as teaching references.
Do I need to study all eleven chapters?
It depends on the requirements of the major and course. Basic drafting knowledge, fundamentals of computer drawing, basic projection, composite solids, and methods of expressing machine parts are core content and should be mastered with priority; chapters such as axonometric drawing, standard components, and commonly used parts can be arranged according to class hours and certification requirements. Self-learners can first read the table of contents and make choices according to their goals.
