CADD - INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

CADD is an acronym for Computer-Aided Design Drawing or Computer-Aided Drafting Drawing. CADD allows you to accomplish design and draf activities using a computer. A CADD software package, such as AutoCAD, enables you to create designs and generate drawings to documents designed.

Design is a broad field involving the process of making an idea into a real product or system. The design process requires repeated refinement of an idea or ideas until a solution results-a manufactured product or constructed system.

Traditionally, design involves the use of sketches, drawings, renderings, 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional models, prototypes, testing, analysis and documentation. Drafting is generally known as the production of drawings that are used to document a design for manufacturing or construction or to archive the design.
