For simple objects, we use frequently primary geometric 2D entities such as lines and

Nonparametric representation of the curve for CAD software has following limitations
Curves are often multi-valued i.e, for a given value of x there are many vals
Ideally, a unique point on the curve would be defined by a single value of ays
defining curve.
2. _ If the slope of a curve at a point is vertical, its value becomes infinity, this isd
condition to deal with both computationally and programming wise.
3. Computations of coordinates are inconvenient and lengthy processes and al
difficult in the viewpoint of the programmer.
4. If the curve is to be displayed as a series of points or straight-line segmétl,
computations involved could be extensive. It is often necessary in CAD to evil
orderly sequence of points on a geometric entity. .
5. The equation for the curve will depend upon the coordinate system used.
