1. STUDY ON COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING AND SOLID MODELING

Drawing has been an integral part of engineering for many years. It is the link between the engineering design and manufacturing. Information regarding the size, shape, dimensions, tolerances and other manufacturing/construction details are quickly communicated to the production construction personnel in the form of drawings prepared according to prescribed drafting standards. These drafting standards are specified for understanding and interpreting the drawings in the same way by various designers and manufacturing personnel. An engineering drawing may be prepared by means of conventional tools such as drafting board, pencil or ink on the tracing paper or alternatively, with the aid of a computer. The method of preparing the drawings by computers is known as Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) or Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD).
