- is the use of computer systems (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design
- The beginnings of CAD can be traced to the year ____ , when Dr. Patrick J. Hanratty developed PRONTO, the first commercial numerical-control programming system.
- Ivan Sutherland MIT's Lincoln Laboratory created SKETCHPAD, which demonstrated the basic principles and feasibility of computer technical drawing
- The first CAD systems served as mere replacements of drawing boards.
- developed in the beginning of the sixties, and in 1969 MAGI released Syntha Vision, the first commercially available solid modeler program
- Create simple shapes in the X and Y directions
- Does not show the Z direction (depth)
- Can be used for drawing, pattern drafting and for drawing images that appear to have three dimensions but are still in a __ format
- Creates shapes in three dimensions (x, y and z)
- used to search for commands, as well as access tools to create, open, and publish a file.
- it displays frequently used tools with the Quick Access toolbar.
- control the display and order in which user interface elements are displayed.
- Different types of workspace
- shows the file name
- Autodesk Exchange provides a web-based experience directly within the product. Included are tabs that access the sources information. Internet is mandatory for this.
- a palette that displays task-based tools and controls
- -denoted by an arrow icon in the lower right corner of the panel
- When you select a particular type of object or execute some commands, a special ______ _____ tab is displayed instead of toolbar or dialog box.
- where the actual drawing is made. The color is black to help with the visibility of lines on the computer screen.
- a type of cursor consisting of two lines that intersect. It lets you point to portions of the drawing area
- TWO TYPES OF AUTOCAD ENVIRONMENTS
- an endless drawing area for any scale ratio of an object. It is where you do most of your drawing and editing.
- specifies a certain sheet size of a paper for plotting purposes. All model drawings with a specified scale factor are placed here. It provides a way to set up your drawing for printing.
- It is where you can type commands and command options
- provides access to navigation and orientation tools from a single interface
- Indicates the current orientation of a model and is reorient the current view of a model.
- provides access to the general and specialized navigation tools
- Increases or decreases the magnification of the view in the current viewport
- rotates the view in 3D space, but constrained to horizontal and vertical orbit only
- provides an on-screen display for creating and playing back cinematic animations for design review, presentation, and bookmark-style navigation.
- displayed at the top-left corner of each viewport, and provide a convenient way of changing views, visual styles, and other settings.
- Displays the coordinates of the cursor
- displays the cursor location, drawing tools, and tools that affect your drawing environment.
- provides quick access to some of the most used drawing tools.
- displays a grid pattern that covers the XY plane of the UCS to help you visualize distances and alignments
- Restricts cursor movement to specified intervals
- Applies geometric constraints automatically when you create or edit geometry
- Displays a command interface near the cursor, which you can use to enter commands and specify options and values
- Constrains cursor movement to the horizontal or vertical direction
- Restrict cursor to specified angles. It restricts cursor movement to specified increments along a polar angle
