Autocad Assignment

Advantage & Disadvantage of CAD | In the work place, technology has significantly change the way we go about our every day jobs, in design the introduction of computers and computer software has identified new and exciting ways to go about the design process. Computers have contributed to design for quite a while by providing analysis tools, data-bases and computer-aided drafting tools. Since its introduction 1960s CAD tools have been developed to more user friendly programs we use today.The last 4 decades has been a back and forward process. It has jumped back and forth between attempts to totally automate the entire design process, to its partial support as a drafting mechanism, from a representation of objects properties, to complete modeling and visualization tool.Design is an intelligent human process activity which requires many skills and lots of knowledge. Design problems can be solved by individuals or by teams. They may take minutes or years. Design occurs in a wide variety of domains, ranging from the design of a Nuclear Power Plant to that of a simple glass bottle. The general design process is often characterised as mapping needs, functions and structures, this process is carried out by using many different types of analysis and different sources of information. Hand-drawn plans or sketchers can be all a computer aided draftsperson or a modeler needs to get to complete a job. On projects without structural work that don’t require permits, even a quick sketch might be sufficient.This computing evolution has precipitated a fundamental re-evaluation of space and time. The transition between pre-industrial conditions to a world of computers and cyberspace, taking place in the best part of half a century, affecting the modern designer’s concept of space, which has been an intangible medium for centuries and through constant manipulation and thought, has distinguished the design profession.
