AutoCAD is simply defined as a
Computer- Aided Design software application for 2D and 3D designs, and
drafting. It is a vector- based drawing application intended for engineering
purposes which runs on graphic terminals connected to mainframe
computers. AutoCAD is the first CAD program to run on personal
computers.
AutoCAD
is a means of creating theoretical designs, practical drawings, and
documentation in many industries. It fits any design solution that requires a
general, customizable drafting, and design tool.
AutoCAD
users are usually designers, architects, engineers, land planners, contractors,
facility managers, educational institutions, and students whose line of study
is related to the professions aforementioned.
The
benefits of using AutoCAD are as follows:
1.
Saves
time, money, and reduce errors with dynamic engineering model.
2.
Reduces
purchase, deployment, and support costs with one complete solution.
3.
Increases
value to clients by delivering more design alternatives in less time.
4.
Creates
production sheets faster.
5.
Production
drafting is always in sync with the design.
6.
Completes
projects faster and reduce the chance of coordination errors.
7.
Builds
a foundation for your custom solution.
8.
Clearly
communicates design intent and complete final proposals with realistic 3D
rendering.
