Workshop on AutoCAD

Presented by :
AutoCAD is a CAD (Computer Aided Design
or Computer Aided Drafting) software
application for 2D and 3D design and
drafting.
History of AutoCAD

 History. AutoCAD was derived from a program that began in 1977,


and then released in 1979 called Interact CAD, also referred to in
early Autodesk documents as MicroCAD, which was written prior to
Autodesk's (then Marinchip Software Partners) formation by
Autodesk cofounder Michael Riddle.
 Developer(s): Autodesk
 Initial release: December 1982; 36 years ago
 Type: Computer-aided design
 Stable release: 2020 / March 28, 2019
There are various types of drawings required in
different fields of engineering and science.

 In the field of mechanical engineering the drawing of


machine components and layouts are prepared.
 In the field of civil engineering plans and layouts of
buildings are prepared.
 In all other fields of engineering use of computer is made
for drawing and drafting.
BENEFITS OF CAD
 Improved productivity in drafting.
 Customer modifications in drawing are easier.
 More efficient operation in drafting.
 Revisions are possible.
 Improved accuracy of drawing.
BENEFITS OF CAD

 Minimized transcription errors in drawing.


 Assistance in preparation of documentation
 Better designs can be evolved.
 Colures can be used to customize the product
LIMITATIONS OF CAD

 It require large amount of computer memory.


 The size of the software package is large.
 Skill and judgment are required to prepare the
drawing.
 Huge investment.
The major functions performed by
CAD system are:
 Basic setup of drawing
 Drawing of objects using various elements
 Changing of properties of object
 Transformations on object
 Text
 Dimensioning
 Filling of objects with different patterns
 Creating libraries
