This book starts with the basic concepts of drawing, interpreting graphics through the comparison of manual and computer drawing to make the originally tedious theory of graphics more engaging for readers. Here, graphics are the main theory, while AutoCAD is the main application. The combination of the two will allow readers to deeply understand that the foundation of computer drawing is manual drawing. For some fields, such as applied geometry, orthogonal projection of points, lines, and planes, the relationship between lines and planes, orthogonal projection and common drawing methods of objects, auxiliary views of objects, section views, orthogonal projection of solids (isometric views), oblique views, and intersection lines are all interconnected. Perspective and shadow drawings are the key for architecture majors. In the piping field, additional lessons on development drawings and piping drawings are included.
