ENGINEERING DRAWING Lab
ENGINEERING DRAWING
Lab Session 1
OBJECTIVES
To learn about AutoCAD
Learn about line command
Learn about X,Y co-ordinate system
Definition of Engineering Drawing
An engineering drawing, a type of technical drawing, is created within the technical drawing discipline, and used to fully and clearly define requirements for engineered items.
A drawing consisting of at least three views (front, top, and side) of an object. What is CAD
An abbreviation for computer-aided (assisted) drafting or computer-aided
(assisted) design. CAD software is used to design or document physical structures or objects.
CAD allows you to accomplish design and drafting activities using a computer. A CAD software package, such as AutoCAD, enables you to create designs and generate drawings to document those designs.
CAD is a tool that can be used for design and drafting activities.
CAD can be used to create a 2D or 3D computer model of the product or system WHY WE USE CAD?
Although there are other methods used for design and drafting activities,
CAD offers the following advantages over other methods in many cases:
1. Accuracy
2. Productivity for repetitive operations
3. Sharing the CAD file with other software programs.
WHY USE AutoCAD?
Previously, only manual drawings were made on drawing board which was so much hectic and time wasting.
Now CAD systems are available for a number of computer platforms: laptops, personal computers (PCs), workstations.
Easy to Modify: Modifying the CAD geometry is easy; you will always have "copy", "cut", "paste", "delete", "move" or some similar editing options available with each of the packages.
Easy to Reproduce: Draftsmen used to take days to complete a drawing by manual drafting, and reproducing the drawing meant RECREATING the drawing from the beginning.
Use in EE
In Industries, Project sites and Offices we use drawing to implement the projects. All the activities
