Product Description
Book Description
Ideal as both a text and reference, this comprehensive introduction to electronic drafting and design is designed to meet the needs of 1) those with drafting skills who need to apply drafting to electronics, 2) those with electronics skills who need introduction to drafting principles, and 3) those who need exposure to both electronics applications and drafting fundamentals. It first covers drafting fundamentals - particularly how they relate to the field of electronics and electromechanical design and drafting. It then provides a detailed analysis of electronics and the types and variations of graphic documentation required to bring an electronic product to market.

Excellent reference book for creating drawings.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Drafting for Electronics (Paperback)
I am an electrical engineer and PE, designing control systems. Although, I have not read this book cover to cover, it is setting on my desk and I use it frequently as a reference. It is an excellent source for creating electrical drawings, whether you are fluent in schematic generation, or just getting started. It contains information at all levels of understanding. I borrowed it from a CAD designer I work with, and it appears to be written for CAD designers. I have looked for a reference book of this nature- they are very hard to find. The reason I am writing this review is I came to amazon.com to buy it- a definite necessity for my professional library!

This Book Needs an Update.,
By Gary "Electronics Engineer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Drafting for Electronics (Paperback)
I was disappointed with this book because it presents the state of the art from about 1982. We are using computer programs to draw schematics now, but this book concentrates mostly on how to use pencils and templates. No mention is even made of OrCAD. The chapter on PCB design instructs us to draw circuit board traces on paper with pencil. The pictures are from companies who are out of business or in other lines of work now (Bishop Graphics, Prime-Computervision). Don't spend much on this book, even though books on this subject are hard to find lately.
