The computer-aided drafting program, AutoCAD, is the most common such program. It has
many, many aids to drawing construction plans and detail drawings. If changes are later made in
the design, it is quick and easy to change the drawing in AutoCAD.
The AutoCAD or computer aided design machine has been a great help to engineers and also for
several architectures that are finding it impossible to deal with drawings and plans of the project
engineering work and the bring on the verge of perfection.
Autocad or commonly known as computer aided design is a software application for writing and
design 2D and 3D. He came on stage during the month of December nineteen hundred and
eighty two.
AutoCAD is a software application for both 2D and 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and
drafting — available since 1982 as a desktop application and since 2010 as a mobile web- and
cloud-based app, currently marketed as Autocad 360.
Developed and marketed by Autodesk, Inc., Autocad was first released in December 1982 —
having been purchased a year prior in its original form by Autodesk founder John Walker. The
software is currently marketed in its eighteenth generation.
The AutoCAD world is 3 dimensional. However, if we want to draw a 2d object, such as a plan or
a section, we will use only 2 dimensions (x and y).
WCS (world coordinate system) is the imaginary plane that is parallel to the ground. It is the
default coordinate system.
Modifications made to the World Coordinate System (WCS) result in a User Coordinate System
(UCS). It is the plane that you work on. It enables the user to draw 3 dimensional objects.
To create a new UCS, type ucs on the command window, then say New and specify 3 points on
your new UCS plane.
