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]

My High School Drafting Teacher told me I'd never make it working in engineering or let alone as a draftsman. My first job a draftsman! 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..

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'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.

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.
