LICATION OF COMPUTER GRAPHICS IN
EERING DRAWINGCOMPUTER GRAPHICS APPLICATION IN THE
ENGINEERING DESIGN INTEGRATION SYSTEM
Design and Drawing: In almost all areas of engineering, be it civil,
mechanical, electronic etc., drawings are of prime importance. In fact,
drawing is said to
be the language of engineers. The ability of computers to
store complex drawings and display them on demand was one of the major
attractions for using computers in graphic mode. However,
these were further advantages.
Most of these drawings were the result of engineering calculations. In
fact, programs can be written to make these calculations and the results
can be used to draw diagrams on the screen. If changes are tobe made,
one can get back tothe design formulae and soon. Thus, the are of
design and drawing was one of the earliest and most useful applications of
graphics.15
