Although not dealt with in this topic, data from 3D models constructed in AutoCAD 2011 can be taken for use in computer aided machining (CAM).Īt all stages in the design process, either (or both) 2D or 3D drawings play an important part in aiding those engaged in designing to assist in assessing the results of their work at various stages. AutoCAD 2011 can also be used to produce excellent and accurate 3D models, which can be rendered to produce photographic like images of a suggested design. In particular, 2D drawings which can be constructed in AutoCAD 2011 are still of great value in modern industry. The storage of data connected with a design and the ability to recover the data speedily are carried out much more easily using computing methods than prior to the introduction of computing.ĪutoCAD 2011 can play an important part in the design process, because technical drawings of all types are necessary for achieving well designed artefacts whether it be an engineering component, a machine, a building, an electronics circuit or any other design project. Such features such as analysis of stresses, shear forces, bending forces and the like can be carried out more quickly and accurately using computing methods. However it needs to be recognised that the impact of modern computing on the methods of designing in industry has been immense.
The contents of this topic are only designed to help those who have a limited (or no) knowledge and skills of the construction of technical drawings using AutoCAD 2011.
Drawings can be exchanged between computers and/or emailed around the world without having to physically send the drawing. Drawings can be plotted or printed to any scale without having to redraw.ġ0. Dimensions can be added to drawings with accuracy reducing the possibility of making errors.ĩ. New details can be added to drawings or be changed within drawings without having to mechanical erase the old detail.Ĩ. A basic rule when working with AutoCAD is Never draw the same feature twice.ħ. The same drawing or part of a drawing need never be drawn twice, because it can be copied or inserted into other drawings with ease. This can save the need for large paper drawing storage areas.Ħ. AutoCAD drawings can be saved to a file system without necessarily having to print the drawing. Drawings or parts of drawings can be moved, copied, scaled, rotated, mirrored and inserted into other drawings without having to redraw.ĥ. Drawing with AutoCAD is less tedious than drawing by hand -features such as hatching, lettering and adding notes are easier, quicker and indeed more accurate to construct.Ĥ. Technical drawings can be produced much more speedily using AutoCAD than when working manually – probably as much as 10 times as quickly when used by skilled AutoCAD operators.ģ.
