Introduction:

Designing is one of the most essential working areas in today’s world. We all, as engineers, understand and acknowledge the importance of drawings in the development of almost all the fields, such as in civil, mechanical and electrical technologies. The usage of Drawings is now a compulsory requirement in all types of large/medium scale productions; such as automobiles, furniture and different types of machines etc. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________

1: Necessities and benefits of CAD (Computer Aid in Designing)

The design procedure of any product initializes with need, concept or an idea in the mind of the developer. That idea is then illustrated using freehand sketches. However, while a free hand sketch may be suitable enough to recognize the basic layout of the product; it is not satisfactory in order to start the building process. Because it usually does not contain all the technical information such as: accurate dimensions, space requirement, material etc. This all needs to be explained using technical drawings.

This is where the computer has its distinct role. Although, most technical drawings can be prepared with hand by engineers, but these drawings containing critical information, need a handful of expertise. The same drawings, if prepared using computer designing, can be handled by a low-level drafter (a person who knows just the fundamentals of geometry and software).

The availability of experts may still not be (and infect is not) a major problem, for there are many people fulfilling the requirements. What is more challenging is that the more complex a design is, the more complex and hectic are its drawings and drafts. Thus a single draft requires a reasonable no. of tools and apparatus for it’s development; elongating the organizational difficulty with each apparatus. While in computer software, all that we require is easily available in clicks of a mouse and some short keys. Also a simple 3D object usually requires at least three to six multi view diagrams. And some objects require more, depending on their shapes and dimensions. Now, if we assume that our aim is production of an entire car, then we will require hundreds of drawings, because that car comprises of hundreds of different parts. One can imagine, how hard is this now for us to put all the technical information into lines and curves.

Summary:

Discussed in above, are only a few considerations regarding the necessities and benefits of computer aided designing(CAD). Many more remain in thoughts. For this matter, below follows a list of some of the imaginable benefits of computer aided designing.

List of some CAD benefits:

•	Time saving •	Cost effectiveness •	Huge data storage availability •	Ease of Information handling (and transfer) •	Accuracy •	Precision •	Better printing quality etc… ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ --Furqankaimkhani (talk) 06:58, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
