AutoCAD is a CAD program is fairly well known by the designer and drafter because it offers greater convenience and advantages. AutoCAD shown to facilitate the work of the designer and drafter in visualizing
ideas and their ideas. AutoCAD Autodesk created or issued by the Corporation in 1982. Starting from the first created through new products are launched, AutoCAD continues to experience growth and be able to contribute greatly to the development of CAD technology today. AutoCAD is an application program used to draw and make designs, such as for modeling, create architectural drawings, machinery, civil, electrical, manufacturing.
With AutoCAD, the design process easier, faster, and accurate. AutoCAD has a very complete facilities. A design created with AutoCAD can easily be edited when there are mistakes and shortcomings, has a very varied picture layout, scale can be changed, adapted to the size of paper, and very practical storage.
Computer Aided Design and Drafting, or better known as CADD, has existed since 1964 but their use is still limited to the mainframe. In 1982, became known CADD systems on one PC with software that has the name of AutoCAD. Now we have known until the release of AutoCAD 2010 software with the capabilities and benefits are great and wonderful that no longer form a 2D or 3D images that can not be drawn by the program.
In AutoCAD there is also called the AutoLISP programming language that allows us to develop their own software and AutoCAD can be used as a specific program, tailored to our needs and requirements.
CADD operator communicates with the computer through input devices such as keyboards, mouse, digitizer. In addition, input can come from a scanner or other files with extensions such as 3DS, DXF, DXB.
CADD software, especially AutoCAD, which the software has high flexibility is not only used for special applications only, such as architecture, mechanical, geodesy, or machinery, but also has the ability to draw anything.
If we want to create a dedicated software AutoCAD, we can add the so-called "3rd party software",
example:
1. Autodesk Architectural Desktop for architectural applications.
2. AutoYatch for boat design and sailing boat (yacht).
3. Auto-Site-Lite for the application of lighting calculations.
4. Autodesk Land Desktop for civil applications, mapping, and urban design.
5. AutoCAD-MAP for GIS applications.
6. SEW-CAD for fashion and textile applications.
7. Autodesk Mechanical Desktop for mechanical applications.
With the software mentioned above, we can further improve the productivity of work in accordance with the field work and needs.
