Introduction to SolidWorks PDF :

My reason for writing another “Introduction to SolidWorks” book is to emphasize the role and importance of computer aided design (CAD) and engineering drawings in communicating design ideas. The old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” is true in mechanical engineering design. Often it is impossible to describe a complex design in words and we must use engineering drawings.

Engineering drawings are still the most important and efficient method of communication between the design and manufacturing functions. They are also necessary for the maintenance and repair of consumer and industrial products as varied as automobiles, airplanes, earth moving equipment and cruise ships. Lastly, engineering drawings are legal documents and commonly used to determine and apportion fault in product liability lawsuits. For all these reasons, every engineering and manufacturing professional must be proficient at creating, understanding and using engineering drawings.
