INTRODUCTIONAUTOCAD 2007
In this era, the development of technology was veryfast. Almost all aspects of life from being touched bythe name of technology. With all the technology was moreeasy to do. Various innovations do not stopto increase the use and application of technology inhuman life. One of the rapidly evolving technologyis CADD (Computer Aided Design and Drafting). DevelopmentThis technology aims to simplify the designerand drafter to visualize their ideas into formimage.AutoCAD is a CAD program that is quite well knownby the designer and drafter because it offers manyease and excellence. AutoCAD shown to facilitatethe work of the designer and drafter in visualizingideas and their ideas. AutoCAD created or issuedby Autodesk Corporation in 1982. Starting from the firstcoined up with the latest products launched,AutoCAD continues to progress and be able to playto the development of current CAD technology.AutoCAD is an application program that is used todrawing and design, such as for modeling,create architectural drawings, engineering, civil, electrical, manufacturing, andothers. With AutoCAD, the design process becomes easier,fast, and accurate. AutoCAD has excellent facilitiescomplete. A design can be created with AutoCADeasy to edit if there is an error and shortcomings,has a very varied picture layout, scalecan be changed, adapted to the size of the paper, and sopractical storage.
B. Overview of CADDComputer Aided Design and Drafting or better known asCADD, has existed since 1964 but their use is stilllimited to the mainframe. In 1982, became known systemCADD on a PC with one of the software that hasAutoCAD name. Now we have come to know AutoCAD softwareto release 2007 with ability and great benefitsand awesome that no longer forms a 2D imageor 3D that can not be drawn by the program.In AutoCAD there is also a programming language calledAutoLISP which enable us to develop their ownAutoCAD software and can be used as a programspecific, tailored to our needs and requirements.CADD operator communicates with the computer through inputdevices, such as keyboard, mouse, digitizer. In addition, other inputcan come from a scanner or a file with another extensionsuch as 3DS, DXF, DXB.CADD software that we will discuss is AutoCAD, whereThe software has great flexibility. AutoCADnot only used for special applications only, such as architecture,mechanical, geodesy, or machines, but has the abilityto draw anything. If we want to make AutoCADa dedicated software, we can add thecalled "3rd party software", for example:• Autodesk Architectural Desktop for architectural applications.• AutoYatch for boat design and sailing boat (yacht).• Auto-Site-Lite lighting calculations for the application.• Autodesk Land Desktop for civil applications, mapping, andurban design.• AutoCAD-MAP for GIS applications.• SEW-CAD for fashion and textile applications.• Autodesk Mechanical Desktop for mechanical applications.With the software mentioned above, we can furtherincreasing labor productivity according to the field of our work.
The things you need to know in using AutoCADis a standard problem, good dimensions, labeling, and formatwere used. In its use is often standard issueneglected. Once we establish a relationship with the userAutoCAD another, both within and outside the country, then wefeel the importance of standards
