Introduction to AutoCAD

When you click the  AutoCAD 2017 icon on the desktop, the AutoCAD 2017 initial screen will appear as shown below To start new drawing click Start Drawing to open a new drawing file.The drawing file consists of                                                        1) A graphics window                                                        2) Ribbon                                                        3) Menu bar                                     ...

While drafters work in a number of specialties, the five most common specialization areas are as follows: mechanical, architectural, civil, electrical, and electronics. Mechanical drafters  prepare plans for machinery and mechanical devices. Architectural drafters  draw up plans for residential and commercial buildings. Civil drafters  draw up plans for use in the design and building of roadways, bridges, sewer systems, and other major projects. Electrical drafters  work with electricians to prepare diagrams of wiring electrical system layouts. Electronics drafters  also prepare wiring diagrams for use in the making, installing, and repairing of electronic gadgets.

AutoCAD stands for Automatic Computer Aided Design and Drafting . AutoCAD  is a 2-D and 3-D computer-aided drafting software application useful for almost all designers. For example, in architecture, construction, and manufacturing to assist in the preparation of blueprints and other engineering plans. There are different types of AutoCAD software’s available in the market, those are developed for specific fields. For example: AutoCAD Architecture for Architecture, AutoCAD Electrical for Electrical, AutoCAD Civil 3D for Civil constructions etc.,
