Consequences on Manual Drawing Ability from Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing

Abstract

Evolution of Drafting/Drawing started in the French by Gaspard monge in the year 13th Century. Till 1980's Manual drawings played a predominant role. Mini Drafter came into existence when people found that the things must be drawn in an effective manner. The basic instruments like Protractors, French Curves, T-squares are generally used in the drawing. Later on there is an advancement of drawing the same things in the computer Monitor system which they used a software called Computer Aided Design. As the manual drawing used protractors and compasses, the Modern way of Drafting is using the commands and the codes as the tools. The innovation of CAD made the people to draft the things in an accurate and precise manner. The theme of the paper is to show the aid and advantages of Computer Aided Design and modern techniques used in the field of engineering which also includes the way of protecting manual drafting skills.
