3. INTRODUCTION
Graphics is used to represent complex objects and structures that are created from simple geometric elements, such as lines, circles, and planes. Current 3-D CAD programs use these simple geometric forms to create more complex ones, through such processes as extrusion, sweeping, and solid modeling Boolean operations. Therefore, to fully exploit the use of CAD, you must understand geometry and be able to construct 2-D and 3-D geometric forms.
ENGINEERING GEOMETRY
Geometry provides the building blocks for the engineering design process. Engineering geometry is the basic geometric elements and forms used in engineering design. Engineering and technical graphics are concerned with the descriptions of shape, size, and operation of engineered products. The shape description of an object relates to the positions of its component geometric elements in space. To be able to describe the shape of an object, you must understand all of the geometric forms, as well as how they are graphically produced.

The Cartesian coordinate system, commonly used in mathematics and graphics, locates the positions of geometric forms in 2-D and 3-D space.

Example:

6. Figure 8.4
In a 3-D coordinate system, the origin is established at the point where three mutually perpendicular axes (X, Y, and Z) meet. The origin is assigned the coordinate values of 0,0,0.

A rectangular prism is created using the 3-D coordinate system by establishing coordinate values for each corner.

The right-hand rule is used to determine the positive direction of the axes.
The right-hand rule defines the X, Y, and Z axes, as well as the positive and negative directions of rotation on each axes.

Tangencies:
A tangent condition exists when a straight line is in contact with a curve at a single point.

In engineering drawing, lines are used to represent the intersections of nonparallel planes, and the intersections are called edges.

18. Figure 8.31
Tangencies:
In planar geometry, a tangent condition exists when a straight line is in contact with a curve at a single point; that is, a line is tangent to a circle if it touches the circle at one and only one point.
Two curves are tangent to each other if they touch in one and only one place.

19. Figure 8.32
Tangencies:
In 3-D geometry, a tangent condition exists when a plane touches but does not intersect another surface at one or more consecutive points.

20. Figure 8.33
Another tangent condition exists where there is a smooth transition between two geometric entities.
However, a corner between two geometric entities indicates a nontangent condition.

An ellipse is a single-curved-surface primitive and is created when a plane passes through a right circular cone oblique to the axis, at an angle to the axis greater than the angle between the axis and the sides.

32. A circle when viewed at an angle, appears as an ellipse.

A circle when viewed at an angle, appears as an ellipse.

33. Figure 8.66
Mathematically, an ellipse is the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances from two fixed points (the foci) in the plane is constant. The major diameter (major axis) of an ellipse is the longest straight-line distance between the sides and is through both foci. The minor diameter (minor axis) is the shortest straight-line distance between the sides and is through the bisector of the major axis. The foci are the two points used to construct the perimeter and are on the major axis.
