BENEFITS OF CAD
Can

make any complicated

design/model easily in CAD.

Accuracy

level is better.

Modification

is better.
3

 The

drawings can be kept

for long time.

It

consumes less time

than that of manual
drawing.

Before

manufacturing the
drawings can be
visualized.
4

: All The Required View

With Proper Dimension,
Geometrical Symbols And
Tolerance Is Called
Drafting
5

PARAMETRIC SOFTWARE:
It can modify the parameters
easily that is the model can be
edit.

SEMI-PARAMETRIC SOFTWARE:
It can modify the parameters up
to certain limit.

NON-PARAMETRIC SOFTWARE:
It can not modify the
parameters.

LOW-END SOFTWARE:
Here only design
module is present.eg:
Auto-cad

MEDIUM-END
SOFTWARE: Here design
and manufacturing
module is present.eg:
Master-cam,Del-cam
7

HIGH-END SOFTWAR:
If numbers of modules are
present in a software it
is called high-end
software. It means
design, manufacturing,
analysis modules should
be present at least.eg:
UG, Pro-e, Catia

Auto-CAD is best
drafting, nonparametric, lowend software.

NOTES
Auto-CAD is developed by
Auto-desk company. It is an
USA based company.
The

1st version of Auto-cad
