    History of AutoCAD

     AutoCAD was derived from a program begun


    in 1977 and released in 1979 called Interact
    CAD, also referred to in early Autodesk

    Applications of AutoCAD

    • CAD is a tool that can be used for design and


    drafting activities. It can be used to:
    • Make “rough” drawings, although it is more suited
    to create accurate finished drawings.
    Cont…

    • Create 2D or 3D computer models, for analysis


    supply manufacturing equipment with production
    instructions.
    • Create 2D drawings for communicating and
    archiving
    Applications of AutoCAD in other fields

     Architects and Town Planners use AutoCAD for


    designing of house (Plan, section and Elevation).
     Civil Engineers use AutoCAD for Foundation
    drawings.
     Mechanical Engineers use this software for the
    designing of mechanical equipments.
     Environmental Engineer use the software for the
    designing of water supply and sewerage system for
    house.

    Advantages of AutoCAD

     AutoCAD enhances the productivity and quality of


    designs.
     Drawings get prepared in relatively short duration.
     Reduced the manpower requirement.
    Advantages of AutoCAD

     AutoCAD software is cost effective and highly


    affordable.
     Designs can be drawn with greater accuracy.
     Facilitates easy modification and revision of
    drawings.
     Ability to share the CAD file with other software
    programs.
    Limitations

     AutoCAD software programs require learning


    commands and using them together efficiently.
     Producing architectural size drawings require a
    plotter or plotting services.
