CADD-Computer Aided Designing and Drafting
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. The
Mechanical engineer can test a machine assembly and also a prototype electronic model and test it
without building a physical model.
Expectations form 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.
Presentations
Flexibility in editing
Unit and accuracy levels
Storage and access for drawings
Sharing CADD drawings
Presentations
There are a number of ready-made presentations 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.
It is quick and convenient to organize CADD drawing in a computer.
It enables us to create a highly organized environment.
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
by 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. The latest version of AutoCAD (at the
time of writing) is AutoCAD 2011. Any courses, whether through community colleges or online
universities, that are related to Engineering or Architecture should be considered incomplete if they do not
introduce students to 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
computerised model can be viewed through a 360 angle, and even 'rendered' with a texture on screen
to give an idea of the finished product.
The X,Y co-ordinate system
Everything that we draw in AutoCAD is exact. It will be more accurate than we will ever
need it to be. We're talking 14 decimal points accurate. All objects drawn on the screen are placed there
based on a simple X,Y co-ordinate system. In AutoCAD this is known as the World Co-ordinate
System (WCS).
AutoCAD uses points to determine where an object is located. There is an origin where it
begins counting from. This point is (0,0). Every object is located in relation to the origin. If we were to
draw a line straight out to the right from the origin, this would be considered the positive X-axis. If we
were to draw a line straight up, this would be the positive Y-axis. The picture above shows a point
located at (9, 6). This means that the point is 9 units over in the X-axis and 6 units up in the Y-axis.
When we are working with points, X always comes first. The other point shown is (-10,-4). This means that
the point is 10 units in the negative X-axis (left) and 4 units in the negative Y-axis (down).
A line has two points, a start point and an end point. AutoCAD works with the points to
display the line on the screen. Most of the time we will not have an indication of where the origin is.We
may need to draw a line from the endpoint of an existing line. To do this we use relative points. These
work the same way, but we have to add the @ symbol (shift+2) to tell AutoCAD that this next point is
relative from the last point entered.
i.e.
ABSOLUTE POINTS are exact points on the drawing space.
RELATIVE POINTS are relative to an OBJECT on the drawing space.

Angular Measurement
AutoCAD measures angles in a particular way also.
When drawing lines at an angle, we have to begin measuring the angle from 0 degrees,
which is at the 3 o'clock position. If we drew a line at 90 degrees, it would go straight up. The example
shows a line drawn at +300 degrees (270+30), or -60 degrees.
Entering Points in AutoCAD
We can enter points directly on the command line using three different systems. The one we use
will depend on which is more applicable for the situation. The three systems are as follows:
ABSOLUTE CO-ORDINATES - Using this method, we enter the points as they relate to the origin of the
WCS. To enter a point just enters in the exact point as X, Y.
RELATIVE CO-ORDINATES - This allows us to enter points in relation to the first point we have
entered. After we've entered one point, the next would be entered as @X, Y. This means that AutoCAD
will draw a line from the first point to another point X units over and Y units up relative to the previous
point.
POLAR CO-ORDINATES - We would use this system if we know that we want to draw a line a
certain distance at a particular angle. We would enter this as @D<A. In this case, D is the distance and A
is the angle. Example: @10<90 will draw a line 10 units straight up from the first point.
The three ways of entering co-ordinates shown above are the ONLY way AutoCAD accepts
input. First decide which style we need to use, and then enter as shown. Remember that X is always
before Y (alphabetical). Don't forget the '@' symbol when we are entering relative points.
More AutoCAD Basics
Application Button - This button displays commands for printing, saving, drawing utilities and other
non-drawing tool.
Quick Access Toolbar - This is for quick access to common commands like New, Open, Save, Plot
Filename - The name of the current file we are working on.
Search Bar - Search for text in were drawing or search the help files.
Ribbon - The Ribbon has most of the commands/tools that we will use while we are working.
Tabs - A series of Tabs make up the Ribbon (Home, Insert, Manage, etc) and organize the Tools into
common groups.
Panels - Contain a group of tools
Tools - These are the icon that starts the commands we use to draw, modify, etc.
Tool Tip - If wehoverwer mouse over a tool, a tool tip will appear to give were more information.
Hold it longer for more info.
Drawing Space - These is where we draw were designs.
Command line - When we type a command, we will see it here. AutoCAD uses this space to 'prompt'
us for information. It will give us a lot of information and tell us where we are in the command.
Status bar - This allows seeing and changing different modes of drawing such as Ortho, Osnaps, Grid,
Otrack, etc. We can right click this area to toggle between icons and text for this area.
Icons, Keystrokes and Menus
There are many ways to do things in most Windows programs. AutoCAD is no exception.
Everyone will develop a way that works best for him or her. In this course, we will primarily be
working with the keystroke commands. The reason for this is because they will work in most
AutoCAD versions (including DOS versions), and in some other CAD programs. The icons work well, but
as we will see, icons can be placed anywhere on the screen and can be difficult to find quickly. We may be
working on another employee's computer that is set up differently than what we're used to. The pull-down
menus will access almost all commands, but are a slower way of doing things.
Example: If we want to draw a line, we can do it a few ways:
At the command line type: LINE (or) L and press the ENTER key.
Select the line icon from the DRAW Panel...
All three approaches will do the same thing: prepare AutoCAD to draw a line where we tell it.
AutoCAD is a popular program because it can be customized to suit an individual's needs. The
toolbars are a good example of this. We can have the toolbars we use most often on the screen all the
time. We can easily make them go away so that we have more drawing space. We can also
customize them so we have the most common commands on one toolbar. For example, the
dimensioning toolbar is one that we will not want taking up space on were screen while drawing, but is
very handy when we're dimensioning the drawing.
Basic AutoCAD Terminology
Absolute co-ordinates
A way of inputting points based on AutoCAD's origin.
Acad.dwt
This is the default template that automatically loads whenever we start a drawing session. It
can be customized to suit were needs.
Associated Dimensioning
