DIGITIZING DRAWING ON AUTOCAD
CAD (Computer Aided Design) is used to
design, develop and optimize products, which can be goods used
by end consumers or intermediate goods used in other products.
CAD is also extensively used in the design of tools and
machinery used in the manufacture of components, and in the
drafting and design of all types of buildings, from small
residential types (houses) to the largest commercial and
industrial structures (hospitals and factories).
CAD is mainly used for detailed engineering of 3D models and/or
2D drawings of physical components, but it is also used
throughout the engineering process from conceptual design and
layout of products, through strength and dynamic analysis of
assemblies to definition of manufacturing methods of components.
CAD has become an especially important technology, within the
scope of Computer Aided technologies, with benefits such as
lower product development costs and a greatly shortened design
cycle. CAD enables designers to lay out and develop work on
screen, print it out and save it digitally for future editing,
saving time on their drawings.

Designers have long used computers for their calculations.
Initial developments were carried out in the 1960s within the
aircraft and automotive industries in the area of 3D surface
construction and NC programming, most of it independent of one
another and often not publicly published until much later.
First commercial applications of CAD were in large companies in
the automotive and aerospace industries, as well as in
electronics. Only large corporations could afford the computers
capable of performing the calculations. As computers became more
affordable, the application areas have gradually expanded. The
development of CAD software for personal desk-top computers was
the impetus for almost universal application in all areas of
construction.
Autodesk was founded 1982 by John Walker, which led to the 2D
system AutoCAD.
* Automatic generation of standard components of the design
* Validation/verification of designs against specifications and
design rules
* Simulation of designs without building a physical prototype
* Output of engineering documentation, such as manufacturing
drawings, and Bills of Materials to reflect the BOM required to
build the product
* Import/Export routines to exchange data with other software
packages
* Output of design data directly to manufacturing facilities
* Output directly to a Rapid Prototyping or Rapid Manufacture
Machine for industrial prototypes

AutoCAD 2004 Instructor is intended for instructor-lead
instruction and self-instruction in AutoCAD software. AutoCAD is
the market leader for all CAD software and is used by nearly two
million students and professionals in architecture, engineering,
construction, and design. AutoCAD 2004 Instructor makes it easy
to upgrade from previous versions of AutoCAD by the use of a
2004 bar in the margin that highlights the new features.
Developed from teaching techniques used in an authorized AutoCAD
Training Center and in instruction for engineering colleges,
AutoCAD 2004 Instructor covers all features and capabilities of
AutoCAD. The text is command-oriented so chapters are centered
around groups of related commands. This feature makes the text
very effective as a reference text. The chapters are structured
in a practical/pedagogical sequence beginning with instruction
in general procedures for using the computer interface, setting
up and creating drawings, and then progressing to advanced
features such as dimensioning, special drawing applications and
AutoCAD features, three-dimensional modeling and rendering, and
software customization. McGraw-Hill is proud to be one of the
first and few publishers to have a text on AutoCAD 2004.
