 Introduction

AutoCAD is a commercial software application for 2D

and 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting —
available since 1982 as a desktop application and since
2010 as a mobile weband cloud-based app marketed as
AutoCAD 360.

Developed and marketed by Autodesk, Inc., AutoCAD

was first released in December 1982, running on
microcomputers with internal graphics controllers. Prior
to the introduction of AutoCAD, most commercial CAD
programs ran on mainframe computers or minicomputers,
with each CAD operator (user) working at a separate
graphics terminal.

AutoCAD is used across a wide range of industries, by

architects, project managers, engineers, graphic designers,
and other professionals. It is supported by 750 training
centers worldwide as of 1994.

As Autodesk's flagship product, by March 1986

AutoCAD had become the most ubiquitous CAD
program worldwide. As of 2014, AutoCAD is in its
twenty-ninth generation, and collectively with all its
variants, continues to be the most widely used CAD
program throughout most of the world.
 History
AutoCAD was derived from a program begun in 1977 and
released in 1979 called Interact CAD, also referred to in
early Autodesk documents as MicroCAD, which was written
prior to Autodesk's (then Marinchip Software Partners)
formation by Autodesk cofounder Mike Riddle.

The first version by the AutoDesk Company was

demonstrated at the 1982 Comdex and released that
December. The 2016 release marked the 30th major release
for the AutoCAD for Windows. The 2014 release marked the
fourth consecutive year for AutoCAD for Mac.

 The AutoCAD Advantage
Striker Systems sheet metal fabrication products are
available as a plug-in to AutoCAD or, for non-AutoCAD
users, as a stand-alone solution based on the AutoCAD
OEM Engine. Either way, this combination provides a
unique CAD/CAM environment with features not found
in many conventional manufacturing products.

Removal of Data Translations

Striker Systems provides a truly integrated CAD/CAM

solution that supports the entire manufacturing process
from initial part design through the generation of NC
programs with no data translations required. And unlike
many manufacturing software products with limited
design capability, Striker Systems includes an advanced
engineering system for the most demanding sheet metal
design requirements.

SolidWorks / Solid Edge / Inventor Compatibility

The industry is rapidly embracing 3D solid modeling

technology. Being based on Autodesk’s industry
standard DWG file format, Striker Systems offers a level
of compatibility not found in other manufacturing
solutions. Many products, such as Inventor and
SolidWorks, support Striker’s standard DWG file format
directly. And Striker also offers direct OLE links into
SolidWorks, Inventor and Solid Edge for seamless
sharing of data.
Industry Standard Translators

Many Striker Systems clients must accept drawings from a

variety of sources. In the event it is necessary to import data
from (or export data to) another CAD software, Striker Systems
relies on the same industry standard DXF, IGES, and STEP
translators that are found in AutoCAD. Autodesk is the author
of the DXF file format and therefore defines this standard. And
because AutoCAD is the most popular CAD software in the
world, it is a benchmark for the development of translators by
many other CAD software organizations. You are guaranteed
the highest level of compatibility in the industry.

Reduced Training Time/Cost

Both the AutoCAD based and stand-alone Striker Systems

products provide an enhanced user interface that will be
immediately recognizable to individuals familiar with AutoCAD.
They will readily adapt to the Striker environment thereby
minimizing the learning curve. And for organizations that use
AutoCAD as their engineering solution, it is not necessary for
employees to learn multiple operating environments as they
would with separate CAD and CAM solutions.

Rapid Product Advancements

Unlike the developers of stand-alone manufacturing products,

the development team at Striker Systems is not forced to
continually maintain and advance an underlying graphics
database. The Striker graphics database is an AutoCAD engine,
the world’s de facto standard CAD solution.This allows the
Striker Development Team to concentrate on feature
development and advance software at a rapid pace.
 The Disadvantages of AutoCAD

Autodesk AutoCAD is one of the most popular computer-aided

design (CAD) programs, and it creates accurate, professional
drawings. However, the program falls short for computer
modeling and graphic design. The application has modeling
tools, as well as color and fill tools, but AutoCAD does not
compare well to contemporary building information modeling
(BIM), threedimensional modeling or illustration software.

Line

o AutoCAD produces drawings using line and shape tools.

Curves, arcs and straight lines produce the shapes, but
AutoCAD cannot edit the line and location as freely as
illustration programs-- editing and overlapping lines and
lineweights is limited to a few options. In addition, AutoCAD
creates drawings from only lines, never volumetric models, such
as with BIM. Nevertheless, the application can produce
precise three-dimensional geometry with limited material effects.

Limited File Formats

o Because AutoCAD is one of the leading CAD programs, it

limits the number of file formats it can import or export, because
Autodesk expects other programs to export to AutoCAD formats,
such as DWG and DXF. Unfortunately, this creates problems
when using other programs with more powerful tools and
porting the program to an AutoCAD format-- geometry, color
and effects are lost often.
Color, Fill and Texture

o AutoCAD drawings and models can have color, fill and

texture, using the line and hatch tools. However, the application
limits the number of possible colors to 256
and the hatching provides only a handful of textures, so you
cannot create photo realistic images like illustration programs.
Instead, you can import image files and create material maps for
AutoCAD renderings, but AutoCAD's rendering abilities cannot
compete with three-dimensional modeling programs or
illustration programs.

Non-Parametric

o AutoCAD provides tools to create three-dimensional models,

but editing the models requires many steps, unlike BIM
parametric models, which automatically adjust all of the model
components while editing elements. Furthermore,
information is not attached to the models, such as with BIM
parametric models-- BIM gives the designer data about the
material and volumetric properties of the building project.
 What are the uses of AutoCAD?

- AutoCAD software is used to draw and design the

documents and the applications with easy customization
options.

- AutoCAD provides a platform to be used by professionals

to create the designs and 3D models.

- It allows the creation of the professional technical

drawings and conceptual designs used for representation of
the logics.

- It allows the drafter to provide the finishing touches and

designing with the detailing and linking to the online data.

- It provides suppliers or operational professionals to review

the drawings and modify it according to the requirements.

and everyone has ended on a successful note. I
express my sincere gratitude to MR SAMUEL
DEBBARMA who assisting me throughout the
preparation of this topic. I thank him for providing me
the reinforcement,confidence and most importantly
the track for the topic whenever I needed it.

AutoCAD has a great future ahead due to the plethora

of features in offers and the upcoming updates that
Autodesk provide empowering the software.
Currently, AutoCAD is on of the major drawing and
drafting tools used worldwide.
In the near future, AutoCAD will remain to serve the
same purpose with enhanced features and user
interface and thus, will remain as the top software for
drawing and drafting.
