Engineering drawing theory questions

Engineering Drawing is the universal language of engineers. The idea is drawn on a sheet by using point, line, and other drawing entities to give complete information or complete detail about the idea. Engineering drawings are those drawings that are used on the shopfloor to improve productivity. 
The sound knowledge of engineering drawing is essential to all engineering students. Engineering Drawing is difficult to understand for the first-year student of engineering.
