What is AutoCAD? AutoCAD is the main COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN program used in architecture, construction and manufacturing to assist in the preparation of the engineering and architectural plans. It is used to help people design buildings structures, mechanical and electrical drawing without having to draw up plans by hand. AUTOCAD IS ONE OF THE MOST IN DEMAND COURSES IN KUWAIT What are the benefits of using AutoCAD? Drawing Speed Computer-aided design requires CAD software and the click of a mouse to create shapes and lines. Drawings can be accomplished within hours. On the other hand, manual design requires the purchase of tools to accomplish results--parallel bar and drawing board, triangle, compass, electric eraser, pens and more. The manual method also requires a firm drawing hand and may take hours to complete a single page drawing. Drawing Accuracy Manual draftsmen use an architectural or engineering scale (ruler) to layout a drawings measurements. Drawing in this manner requires a level of concentration and focus that can be difficult to maintain and the accuracy of the results can vary. Computer-aided design allows the user to enter a set of exact parameters and create a drawing based on those guidelines. The computer drawing is exact to the measurements provided and can be easily adjusted by changing the parameters. Fast Printing and Duplicating CAD software builds its drawings in layers. Once a basic floor plan or object model is established, CAD software uses it as the base layer for all subsequent drawings that require it. Printing involves the simple matter of including the needed layers in the final drawing and produces a single sheet drawing. Manual drafting uses a similar process--a single floor plan on one sheet with added layers (in sheet form) of data on top. However, the printing process requires the stacking and re-stacking of the drawing sheets in the correct order, a time-consuming process, particularly when a misplaced drawing sheet requires a reprint. Special Features CAD products include many features that require little or no time to implement, like the ability to turn a flat 2-D diagram into a robust, three-dimensional drawing with a few mouse clicks. 3-D drawings give the viewer a more realistic idea of what a room or object will really look like. Other features, like a zoom or cutaway option, allow a viewer to see a drawing in great detail. Manual drafting can create 3-D and detailed drawings, but it can take days to complete each one.
