What is the main difference between an isometric drawing and a sketch?
An isometric drawing is freehand, while a sketch is precise.
An isometric drawing shows equal dimensions of three sides, while a sketch is freehand and conceptual.
A sketch shows views from different angles, while an isometric drawing is 2-D.
A sketch requires dimensions, while an isometric drawing does not.
Why are orthographic projections important in engineering?
They provide a pseudo-3D perspective.
They are used for artistic designs.
They allow engineers to view objects from multiple angles to manufacture them accurately.
They are freehand drawings used for brainstorming.
