BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Before the advent of AutoCAD, manual hand drafting instruments like T-

square, triangle, parallel rulers, compasses, and pencil were the tools used to
create 2D and 3D geometry. When AutoCAD was released 1982 it became the
industry’s most widely used application because of its automated set of tools and
features. It is equipped with linear geometric commands to create simple to
complex linear objects. French curve, compass and circular templates can be
replaced by create curved objects commands in drawing perfect arcs and circles.
Speedy rendering of materials for sections and elevations can be done with ease
using hatch patterns, gradient and fills command. Lettering, annotation, labels
and notes provide options to move, copy, and modify as specified in the blueprint.
