Hello. The knowledge from your youtube channel is very useful. I think it needs to be spread to more people. I want to translate your video into Vietnamese and post it on my youtube channel. I will quote the source at your channel

[@sunfishMola]

i'm confused when you display the 6 total views at 3:59. shouldn't the right view have the sloping face on its left side? and the notches visible in the top/bottom and rear/front views should be mirrored to each other? when you deconstruct the 6 views from the cube shape, some of the views are flipped the wrong way, so we're seeing the image from behind, rather than how the camera saw it from the side it was taken. right?

[@YTUser-4967]

@@sunfishMola Me, too. I think the BOTTOM VIEW, RIGHT VIEW, and REAR VIEW in the 3rd angle projection are incorrect.

He told me that after I brought him a Drawing I made when I was ten years old, it looked exactly like these drawings. It was a detailed engineering drawing of a Spark Plug, an Aircraft Bracket, Moral here....If you have any fascination or feel like you'd want to draw like this..GO FOR IT..

This is ESSENTIAL for draftsmen and engineers. My college instructor told his classes: "Everyone starts out with an A. If I have to ask a question regarding your drawing, that's a B. Two questions is a C. Three questions is a D. Four questions is an F." Dr. Crist

[@Andy_Torres]

As a design engineer I can tell you that this is one of the best videos that I have ever seen explaining an engineering drawing! Just a quick note, as per ASME Y14.5 the symbol in 18:50 is called “Position” no “True position,” true position is the theoretical exact position aka the perfect position in the CAD, and the symbol is referring to the Geometric Characteristic of Position. This is a very common mistake in the engineering world

I use it for a large computer table . Good luck to all in the future and take care .

[@Facadeghimire1302]

All mechanical engineers have already covered this topic in college. We are now able to understand it because our brains are memorizing what we studied. This is a very basic but important syllabus that is only used in precise machining industries. GD&T is not applicable in construction industries as each industry uses its own standard. I learned GD&T 10 years ago, but I have never applied those rules.

[@danishshafiq8008]

I'm from Russia and studying engineering. It is interesting to see that drawings can be done a little differently. For example, 12:09 there are no such or similar designations in the ESKD standards. As a result, we indicate the dimensions of the "recesses" (or chamfers) with arrows. But we have pluses: we have any thread designated as in ISO (М30х3 or G12-½, Tr12x2,5...) and first view projection by default.

A good visual analogy to help remember first and third angle projections is this: with first-angle, you rotate the object like it is on a hill; with third-angle, you rotate the object like it is in a bowl. Edit: I work on sheet metal. So, it's awesome to see how standardized all this is. I'm going to show this video to new guys to get them caught up. You'd be surprised how little first and third angle projections are discussed in some shops. It can mean the difference between forming good parts and backwards ones....

I graduated months ago studying Petroleum Engineering. In my country, all Engineering courses take a minimum of 5yrs to complete. In level 2, all Engineering departments studied the same course so I did course both mechanical and civil engineering courses. we were mostly just lumped together and the course lecturer didn't really care since some of us "may not need it" apart from the Mechanical and civil engineering students. I had so source for videos online to understand the course and I'm gutted I just got to see this channel recommend by KZbin 6months after graduation.
