Introductory Message
For the Facilitator:
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this
box in the body of the module:
The hand is one of the most symbolized parts of the human body.
It is often used to depict skill, action, and purpose. Through our hands,
we may learn, create, and accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning
resource signifies that you as a learner is capable and empowered to
successfully achieve the relevant competencies and skills at your own
pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!
1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any
part of the module. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the
exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other
activities included in the module.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your
answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through
with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this
module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always
bear in mind that you are not alone.

What’s In
CAD is in!
Computer -aided drawing is a technique where the attributes of
the computer and those of the designer are combined together into a
problem solving team. Using this software would mean faster and easier
production of quality output. CAD is an essential skill to be acquired
by draftsman nowadays in order to finish an assigned task.
What’s New
Think about it!
What would happen if a draftsman uses a computer to
accomplish a task? As a future draftsman, what would be your tool to
be successful in this chosen career?

Keyboard – is the principal device for communicating with your
computer. All keyboards have letter keys, punctuation keys, and a
space bar which is similar to the keys on a typewriter. Keyboards also
have functions, numeric and arrow keys in additional to Alt, Ctrl, and
Enter keys.
Sample Keyboard
Sample Monitor

Optical Drive – is a storage device that uses lasers to read data on the
optical media. There are three types of optical drives: Compact Disc
(CD), Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) and Blu-ray Disc (BD).
Optical Drive
Sample Mouse
Sample of Printer
6
Plotter – an output device that can produce better quality drawings as
compared to the printer, however, the speed of plotter is generally
slower than a printer.

many applications, including automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace
industries; industrial and architectural design; prosthetics; and many
more. CAD is also widely utilized to produce computer animation for
special effects in movies, advertising, and technical manuals.
AutoCAD
An AutoCAD is a commercial product made by Autodesk, with
many versions, including one called AutoCAD Architecture. AutoCAD
Architecture has purpose-built features specifically designed for
architectural drafting. In addition to design tools for initial architectural
conceptualization, it offers tools to make building renovations faster
and easier. The productivity tools include those that reflect the actual
design of walls and other structures. AutoCAD can maintain precise
dimensional spacing among components such as walls, beams,
columns, and doors. AutoCAD Architecture offers a library of pre-built
components to help speed up and automate the design and
construction process.
