Auto Cad Details

What Is Auto Cad?
AutoCAD was one of the first Computer Aided Design programs to be made available on personal computers. It is built to help people design buildings, products, or public spaces, without having to draw up plans by hand. It was released in 1982 by Autodesk, Inc., and offered a personal solution to software that was before then released only for larger workstations. While CAD programs prior to AutoCAD required massive amounts of computing power in the form of gigantic computers, AutoCAD streamlined its operating and optimized it for the IBM PC, allowing people to work from home or on their own work computers.

Computer aided design is also referred to as CAD or Computer aided drafting.

What Is an Engineering Scale?

An engineering scale, also known as an engineer’s scale, is actually a type of ruler that produces ratio drawings. Engineers typically use this scale for drafting and blueprint creation. For example, with an engineering scale it is possible to manually create a drawing that is ten times larger or ten times smaller than the original that the engineer is drawing from.
