1. Study of Capabilities of Software for Drafting & Modeling – Co-Ordinate
System
Aim: To Study of capabilities of software for Drafting and Modeling.
Computer Aided Drawing:
A drawing is prepared traditionally using instruments. The modern alternative is to draw with the aid of
computers. This method is known as computer aided drafting (or) Computer aided drawing (or) computer assisted
drafting (or) computer argument drafting and computer automated drafting.
Modern CAD systems are based on the interactive computer graphics. Interactive computer graphics
denotes a user defined system in which the computer is employed to create and display data in the terms of
pictures and symbols, by the communication between the user and the system. A typical interactive computer
graphics system in combination of both hardware and software
The four fundamental elements of drawing are points, straight lines, arcs and circles. In computer aided
drawing systems, the points on the screen be located by selected with the cursor, snapping to the grip, points
(or) by entering the numerical values of the co-ordinates of the points. The other elements can be drawn easily
by using relevant commands.
Scaling: The capacity to enlarge (or) diminish the size of a displayed feature without changing its shape
Zooming: The capacity to enlarge (or) reduce a selected area of the drawing seen on the screen
Translating: The capacity to move parts of a drawing and redrawing them in the new position to a
selected scale
Rotation: The capability of rotating the features about a selected position and redraw them in a new angular
position
Mirroring: To reverse the image of a feature about the chosen line of symmetry.
Duplicating: The capability of redrawing a feature (or) component many times and displaying in orderly manner
of our choice. The CAD system offers a number of automatic features such as fillet, chamfering, hatching and
shading of any specified area, dimensioning and text displayed in the required format.
Advantages of using CAD:
There are several fundamental reasons for implementing a CAD system.
I. To increase the productivity of designer.
II. To improve quality of design.
15
III. To improve communication.
IV. To create library.
V. To create database for manufacturing.
 To increase the productivity of designer:

This is accomplished by helping the designer to visualize the product and its component sub-
assemblies and parts, by reading the time required in synthesis and documenting the design.
 To improve quality of design:

The CAD system permits a more analysis and a number of design alternative can be investigated,
designs are also through the greater accuracy provided by the system.
 To improve communication:
Use of Cad system provides better engineering drawing, more standardization in the drawing, better
documentation of the design, greater legibility and saving in time.
 To create library:
Commonly used architectural building, electrical and mechanical components can be drawn and stored
in memory and recalled when needed. Further they can be positioned any where on the screen and redraw to
any scale angle and angle of inclination.
 To create database for manufacturing:

The process of creating the documentation in the product using design much of required database to
manufacture the product is also created.
Modeling:
Early CAD systems where basically automatic drafting board systems which displaced a two- dimensional
representation of the object being designed. It was left to the user of the system, to make certain that the two-
dimensional representation was correct, as stored in data files.
Types of 3D models:
The 3D models are of three types.
I. Wire-frame Model.
II. Surface Model.
III. Solid Model.
 Wire-frame Model:
Wire frame model is a 3D representation of objects by using mostly lines, arcs and circles. It is
skeletal and does not have surfaces, only edge details are shown by a wire frame method.
 Surface Model:
16
In surface model, the 3D object is made up of opaque surfaces (3D faces). The inner portion of the
object is hollow, the details available behind the surfaces are hidden.
 Solid Model:
In solid model, a solid 3D object is produced. It is like a solid object made of material like wood, steel,
etc. The solid thus produced can be cut into pieces. Mass properties of solid models can be determined.
Benefits of CAD:
I. Productivity improvement in design.

II. It has benefit to shorter lead time.
III. It contains only fewer design errors.
IV. It has greater accuracy in design calculation.
V. It has standardized design, drafting and documentation procedures.
VI. Using CAD the drawing are more understandable and easy.
System Requirements: AutoCAD2002 requires the following hardware for running on any system
 Pentium III or higher.

 64MB RAM.
 Windows98, Windows95 or Windows NT 4.0 operating system.
 1024 x 768 VGA video display (800 x 600 VGA video display minimum).
 Windows video display driver.
 150MB free hard-disk space.
 Pointing device (mouse or digitizer).
 4X CD-ROM drive.
 IBM-compatible parallel port.
 Serial Port (For some digitizer and some plotters).
 Printer or Plotter.
 Modem (Connection to internet).
 Sound card for multimedia learning.
 TCP/IP or IPX support (required only for multi-user, or floating license configuration.

of USA. It has hit the technical world like shock wave revolutionizing the manner of drawing preparation.
2. What is the diff between CAD & CADD?
CAD-computer aided design
CADD-computer aided design and drafting
3. What are the applications of CAD?
 Design of machine elements, CNC machine tools, robotics etc
 Panel design and circuit layout
 Mapping ,building plans, contour plotting and structural drawing
 Interior design and modeling
4. Define absolute co-ordinates?
Values locating a point in space that describe its displacement from origin (0,0,0)point of the drawing.
5. Define polar co ordinates.
Values are locating a point in space that describes its location relative to the last point picked as defined
by an angle and s distance.
6. Define angular dimension?
A dimension that measures the angle between two lines or the angle inscribed by an arc segment
7. Define aligned dimension?
A linear dimension measuring the distance between two points. The dimension line for an aligned
dimension is parallel to a line between points.
57
8. What is Bylayer?
A value that can be assigned to colours and line types so that objects receive their colour and line type
properties according to the layer they are on.
9. What is command line?
A text window at the bottom of the screen that’s displays command: prompt. This is where you see
what you are entering through the keyboard. Also called the command window.
10. What is command: prompt:
A prompt at the command line, when no commands are currently running.
11. What is cross hair cursor?
A form of the cursor that consists of a horizontal line and a vertical line intersecting at their midpoints,
resembling the crosshair in a sighting device.
12. Define dimension variables?
A group of settings and values that control the appreance of dimensions.
13. Define current UCS?
The user co-ordinate system that is active in a drawing. It determines the positive X,Y and Z direction.
14. What is. dwg?
The file extension and format for the standard AutoCAD drawing.
15. Define graphics window?
The appearance of your screen when AutoCAD is running. It consists of the drawing area and surrounding
toolbars, menu bars the command window and the status bar.
16. Define line type?
The style of appearance of a line. AutoCAD styles include continues, dashed, dash dot. And so on.
17. What is a hatch patterns?
A pattern of lines dots and other shapes that fills in a closed area.
58
18. Define MIRROR?
A command that makes a copy of selected objects and flips the copy around a specified line to produce a
reciprocal image of those objects.
19. What is an ortho mode?
An on/off setting that, when on forces lines to be drawn and objects to be moved in a horizontal or vertical
direction only.
20. What are the advantages of CAD?
Greater productivity of the designer, improvement of design quality Easier design, calculation and
analysis, quicker rate producing drawings, more accuracy of drawings, colour graphics is possible.
21. What is an object snap mode?
Any of a set of tools precisely picking strategic points on an object, including end point, midpoint, center,
and so on. It is casually called osnap.
22. Define block?
The description of an association of AutoCAD objects that is stored with the drawing file and include a
name, an insertion point, and a listening of objects in the association.
23. Define relative co-ordinates?
Values are locating a point in space that describes its displacement from last point picked in the drawing
rather than from the origin.
