Engineering Design Graphics with Autodesk Inventor 2020, 1st Edition, is a textbook that demonstrates how to create and document designs using computer-aided drafting software. The volume introduces basic engineering graphics principles alongside functional digital modeling tools for technical design.

Core coverage explores two-dimensional sketching and three-dimensional model creation alongside technical drawing practices. Moving beyond traditional computer-aided graphics curricula, the text incorporates engineering exercises that require students to design simple mechanisms.

A step-by-step format enables students to work directly between the text and the computer screen throughout the learning process. This hands-on structure supports structured drafting practice, serving as an instructional guide and a continuing reference.
