What are CAD Libraries?

CAD libraries are collections of pre-made design elements, components, or templates that can be used in CAD software to speed up the design process. These libraries typically include 2D and 3D models, parts, symbols, and standards that can be easily integrated into drawings or designs. CAD libraries help engineers, architects, and designers quickly access commonly used objects, materials, and components, improving efficiency and ensuring consistency across projects. They are used in various industries such as manufacturing, architecture, and construction, where standardization and accuracy are crucial.
