INTRODUCTION TO AutoCAD

AutoCAD (computer aided design) software was organized by Autodesk (U.S.A) in 1982.AutoCAD was used first time in India by Brakes India limited in 1985. CAD skill is an integral part of every engineer profession today. One cannot imagine carrying out any project without CAD tools. Proper usage of these tools improves the overall efficiency and savings in resources. Hence, it is essential for every engineer to acquire multiple skills to contribute and grow with the organization. Engineers from every field are expected to acquire the fundamental knowledge of CAD even if they are not going to produce drawings. We can design and shape the world around with the powerful, flexible features found in AutoCAD software, one of the worlds leading 2D and 3D design software products. With robust 3D tools that can create almost any shape imaginable, AutoCAD helps us intuitively explore design ideas. It offers innovations that increase design and documentation efficiency, and enables you to securely, accurately, and seamlessly share those designs with colleagues. AutoCAD provides the ultimate in flexibility because it can be easily customized for your specific needs. With these capabilities and more, AutoCAD delivers the power and flexibility because it can be easily customized for your specific needs. With these capabilities and more, AutoCAD delivers the power and flexibility needed to take documentation and design further.
