What does AutoCAD Mean?

Cad full-form is computer-aided design or drafting (CAD)
and program used for 2D and 3D design and drafting.
And it was one of the initial CAD programs that could be
executed on the personal computers.
The (cad) first release of the software (application) used
only primaeval existence such as a line, arc polygon,
poly-line, circle, rectangle and difficult objects.

Engineers...
..

Architecture Engineers:-

Architecture Engineers are make a good plan according by client as

buildings or home and much more. He create a drawings for home
design. Civil engineers are prepare a foundation for a roads and fly
overs and pull and much more.

Mechanical Engineers

Mechanical Engineers is a diversified subject that obtain its

broadness from the designs and he was prepare a mechanical
device. He build a machinery system, , foundations and other
things.

Electrical Engineers

Electrical drafters are preparing a technical drawing of the

electrical wiring system and machinery system.

Since the drawing process they are very alert and give a
sketch drawing so get a final designs.

Introduction Of Commands

Line Command:-

Line command create a drawing. that is a very important

command in autocad. first type L than enter in command
prompt, and draw a line his according.
