The passage discusses Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems and their applications in various engineering fields. It also provides multiple choice questions to test the understanding of CAD commands and techniques.

The Units command in AutoCAD is used to set units for linear and angular measurement. However, it is not used to set the limits of the drawing. The options available are Architectural, Decimal, Meter and Metric.

There are three main methods to draw a circle in AutoCAD - by specifying the center and radius, by specifying two points on the circumference, and by specifying three points on the circle.

18-1 INTRODUCTION

The drafting work can be automated and accelerated through the use of Computer
Aided Design (CAD) systems. It may be applied for a wide variety of products in the field
of automotive, electronics, aerospace, naval, architecture, civil and other disciplines of
engineering. CAD systems were originally used for automated drafting only, but now
they also include three-dimensional modeling and computer-simulated operations of the
models. Sometimes CAD is translated as "computer-assisted drafting", "computer-aided
drafting", or a similar phrase. Related acronyms are CADD, which stands for "computeraided design and drafting"; CAID, for Computer-aided Industrial Design; and CAAD, for
"computer-aided architectural design". All these terms are essentially synonymous, but
there are some subtle differences in meaning and application.
