In this book, I will discuss only the most common errors that appear on engineering drawings and the basic usage and understanding of the most frequently used drawings. All drawings will contain errors, but if you can eliminate many of those errors before the engineering design checker or your supervisor reviews your drawing, it will go through much easier. Your reputation is at stake! Your supervisor and the engineering design checker will see everyone's work and know their errors. They know your weak areas and who produces good work and who doesn't. It is helpful to know what they look for--or should be looking for.
