CADD-Computer Aided Designing and Drafting
Overview:
CADD is an electronic tool that enables us to make quick and accurate drawings. CADD
has number of advantages over drawings created on a drawing board. Electronic drawings can be
modified quite easily and can be represented in a variety of formats. CADD extends its power to
yet another branch of engineering called computer aided manufacturing (CAM). CADD and
manufacturing program are often integrated into one system called CAD-CAM. This system
import CADD drawings into CAM program to automate the manufacturing process. When the
design is finalized, the drawings are brought into a CAD-CAM system that uses numerical data
from the CADD drawing for actual manufacturing. There is separate category of programs called
Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) that can use CADD drawing for engineering analysis. The
CAE programs have a number of applications in Structural Design, Civil Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering.
Expectations from CADD
We can do amazing things with CADD that we never thought possible while creating
drawings with pen or pencil. The following are some of the important capabilities that make
CADD a powerful tool.
o Presentations.
o Flexibility in editing.
o Unit and accuracy levels.
o Storage and access for drawings.
o Sharing CADD drawings.
Presentations
There are a number of ready-made presentation symbols available in CADD that can be
used to enhance the look of drawings. In addition to prepare impressive presentations on paper,
we can use CADD to make an on-screen presentations. Advanced CADD programs ever allow
us to create an animated image.

Flexibility in editing
CADD allows us to work with great accuracy. If we need to create highly accuracy
geometric shapes, CADD is the answer. It can help avoid time-consuming mathematical
calculations.
Unit and accuracy level
We can work with as high precession as 1/1000th of an inch.
Storage and access of drawing
A computer electronic filing system has the following advantages over the traditional
filing system.
o It is quick and convenient to organize CADD drawing in a computer.
o It enables us to create a highly organized environment.
o An electronic drawing never gets old and faded.
Sharing CADD Drawing
The electronic drawing can be shared by a number of users, allowing them to Co-ordinate
projects and work as a team. This is accomplished by connecting different computer via a
network
About AutoCAD
AutoCAD is a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program used by just about every
Engineering and Design office in the world. Although there are alternative CAD packages,
AutoCAD is so far the most widely used system. Autodesk's AutoCAD is the industry leader in
CAD packages, Used by Civil Engineers, Architects, Mechanical and Electrical Engineers,
Aeronautical Engineers plus many other disciplines. There have been several versions of
AutoCAD over the years, with each new version introducing new and more powerful features
than its predecessor. Any courses, whether through community colleges or online universities.
AutoCAD. Accurate, scale drawings can be created and published using AutoCAD
powerful features. 3D 'models' can also be created giving the designer absolute control over the
design from start to finish. The computerized model can be viewed through a 360º angle, and
even 'rendered' with a texture on screen to give an idea of the finished product.

RESULT:
Thus the introduction about Computer Aided Designing and Drafting is studied
successfully.
