Dear /diy/,
I am not commonly writing here but I know there are many tech-buffs when it comes to handicrafts lurking around.
My question is as follows: I want to learn technical drawing. Are there any good resources on the matter?
>tl;dr: Please give me resources to learn technical drawing from beginner to advanced level on your own.

well...
i looked at it and i must say:
i like "Technical Drawing by Frederick Giesecke" better. found it on fmhy.net
reddit had this recommendation for look-up.
but thanks. no need to worry about compensation.

mostly agree there, anon.
never been there, though. so can only tell from web experience and few real encounters.

I remember being taught that you only need three views in order to make an isometric projection drawing. I live in Mexico, so I got taught that by default the three views in ANSI-style blueprints are front, top, and right. How's it usually done for ISO-style blueprints?

I realize that you grew up in a period of time when you weren't allowed to play outside, and roam the streets or nearby wooded areas. You never knew a time when your parents sent you to the corner store (by yourself) to buy milk, eggs, or bread. that you had helicopter parents, and only ever played video games, but today you grow up, today you learn how to do things yourself. be an adult... be a man. figure it out for yourself.

It's just habit. That said, third-angle is objectively superior because it places auxiliary views next to their location on the primary view (imagine something long like a bus) and it still breaks my brain that Americans (and Anglos) got something right for once. It's also hard to see how first-angle came to be preferred anywhere (except as an act of contrarianism somehow) since when manually drafting it requires you draw/track your guidelines all the way through the existing views when creating new ones.

thanks.
read it.
well...
i am 31 years old now and just am amazed by the technical drawings in general. they are the most precise, they are super easy to comprehend and i want to learn it.
we are in the age of computer, but the age of free information is kind of closing. there are certain websites. there are certain books. there is still some kind of connectivity by internet. but it turned... shallow.
well... usa did more things good. thanks for your insights on the matter. despite being a bit rough. i am a bit rough myself.

I'll second Giesecke. I have the 4th edition (1958). Used to be a thrift store staple when every engineer took drafting. Maybe it still is. You can probably skip everything after the sketching chapter (chapter 5 in mine) unless you want to be a draftsman or CAD designer.
