The CAD Process is the subset of the Design process.
Design software 1) Auto Cad 2) Catia 3) Creo 4) Solid Molding etc.
Design: Design means geometric modeling, i.e. 2-D and 3-D modeling, including,
1)drafting, 2) part creation 3) creation of drawings with various views of the part, 4)
assemblies of the parts, etc.
CAM -is the next stage of CAD. A part created in CAD can be
Downloaded and manufactured, without a human hand touching the part.
The process is called CAM, and involves CAD, Networking, and NC
Programming,.
Hardware required for cad:
There are basically two types of devices that constitute CAD hardware
Input Devices
Output Devices.
Input devices -These are the devices that we use for communicating with computer, and
providing our input in the form of text and graphics.
Keyboard- The text input is mainly provided through keyboard
Digitizers: Digitizers are used to draw a sketch or other 2-D entities by moving a cursor
over a flat surface (which contains the sketch).
There are electrical wires embedded in orthogonal directions (at right angle) that receive and
pass signals between the device and the computer. The device is basically a free moving pen
shaped stylus, connected to a tablet.
b) Output Devices:
After creating a CAD model, we always need a hard copy, using an output device.
A) Plotters and b) printers are used for this purpose.
Plotter- It is used to produce large size drawings and assemblies, whereas, a laser jet printer
is used to print a 3-D view of a model. Most CAD software requires a plotter for producing a
shaded view.
Computer graphics
Computer graphics means are pictures and movies created using computer
TYPES OF COMPUTER GRAPHICS
1)RASTER GRAPHICS 2) VECTOR GRAPHICS
1) RASTER GRAPHICS --In raster graphics image is a dot matrix data structure representing generally in
a rectangular grid or pixel , or a points of color, viewable via, monitor , paper or other
VECTOR GRAPHICS
Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as point, lines, curves and shapes or
polygon all of which are based on mathematical expression- to represents.
Raster Vector
The graphics software can be divided into three
modules
The Graphics package
The Application Program
The Application Database
The Graphics Package
The graphics package is the software support between the user and the graphics terminal.
It manages the graphical interaction between the user and the system
It also support between the user and the application software
Functions of a Graphics package
Generation of graphics elements
Transformations
Display control and windowing function
Segmenting functions
User input functions
Application data base
The database contains mathematical, numerical and logical definitions of the application models, such as electronic ckts, mechanical components, automobile bodies, and so forth.
• It also contains alphanumeric information associated with the models.
Ground rules in Designing Software
Consistency: The package should operate in a consistent and predictable way to the user
Robustness: The graphics system should be tolerant of minor instances of misuse by the
Operator
Performance: Within limitations imposed by the system hardware, the performance Should
be exploited as much as possible by software. Graphics program should be Efficient and speed of
response should be fast and consistent.
Economy: Graphics programs should not be so large or expensive as to make their use

Line drawing
How to Draw Line
Sets the starting point for the line, Click a point location, or next point
You can also enter coordinates.
If instead, you press Enter at the prompt, a new line starts from the endpoint of the most recently created
line, poly line, or arc.
Circles
Center Point circle
Creates a circle based on a center point and a radius or diameter value
Ex- (A,B,C).
GD & T
GD & T-Is a symbolic language used to specify the size ,shape ,form, orientation and location of
feature on a part.
GD & T –Is a Design Tool that communicates Design intent.
GD & T- Was created to insure the proper assembly of mating part, to improve quality, and to
reduce cost by THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS (ASME) as
dimensioning and Tolerance ASME Y14.5M-1994 Standard.
WHAT IS GD & T?
IS a symbolic language .
Lever type

SYMBOL CHARACTERISTICS
(ASME/ANSI)
PARALLELISM Is condition of a surface ,line or axis, which is equidistant at all points from a datum
plane or axis.
Run out is how much one given reference feature or features vary with respect
CIRCULAR RUN OUT to another datum when the part is rotated 360° around the datum axis. It is
essentially a control of a circular feature, and how much variation it has with the
rotational axis
Profile of a line describes a tolerance zone around any line in any feature,
PROFILE OF A LINE usually of a curved shape. Profile of a line is a 2-Dimensional tolerance range
that can be applied to any linear tolerance.
Total runout controls both the amount of variation in the surface as the part is rotated,
TOTAL RUNOUT but the total amount of variation in the axial dimension. Both radial variation and
axial variation are measured and held within the tolerance
SYMBOL CHARACTERISTICS
(ASME/ANSI)
CONCENTRICITY Concentricity, sometimes called coaxially, is a tolerance that controls the central
axis of the referenced feature, to a datum axis.
SYMBOL CHARACTERISTICS
(ASME/ANSI)
Angularity is the symbol that describes the specific orientation of one feature to another
ANGULARITY at a referenced angle. It can reference a 2D to another 2D element, but more commonly
it relates the orientation of one surface plane relative to another datum plane in a 3-
Dimensional tolerance zone.

Transformations
• Transformations are used to change the image on the display screen
• Transformations are applied to graphics elements in order to help the user in constructing
An application model
• It includes enlargement and reduction of the image by a process called
Translation
Scaling
Rotation
Repositioning the image.
Types Of Transformations
• 2-D (Dimensional)Transformations
• 3-D (Dimensional)Transformations
Two-dimensional Transformations
• To locate a point in a two-axis Cartesian system, the x and y coordinates are specified.
• These coordinate can be treated together as a 1 x 2 matrix: (x, y), e.g. the matrix (1, 4)
Would be interpreted to be point which is 1 unit from the origin in the x-direction and 4
Units from the origin in the y-direction.
•This method of representation can be extended further to define a line as a 2 x 2Matrix by giving
x and y coordinates of the two end points of the line. The notation
Would be,
Translation
• Translation involves moving the element from one location to another
x’= x + m, y’ = y + n
Where,
x’, y’ = coordinates of the translated point
x, y = coordinates of the original point
m, n= movements in the x and y direction
In the matrix notation this can be represented as,
(x’, y’) = (x, y) + T
Where,
T = (m, n), the transformation matrix
Example: Translation
Consider the line defined by,
Suppose the line to be translate in space by 2 units in x direction and 3 units in the y direction.
This would produce an alternation in the size of the element by the factor “m” in the x direction
And by the factor “n” in the y direction
• It also repositions the element
• If the scaling factor is <1, it is moved closer to origin
• If the scaling factor is >1, it is moved farther from the origin
Example : Scaling
• Apply scaling factor of 2 to the line
Example : Rotation
Rotate the line about origin by 30°
Translation
• The translation matrix for a point defined in three dimensional matrix would be,
T = (m, n, p)
And would be applied by adding increments m, n and p to the respective coordinates of
each of the points defining the three-dimensional geometry elements
Scaling
The scaling transformation is given by,
Concatenation
• Single transformations can be combined as a sequence of transformations. This is called
as concatenation, and the combined transformations are called concatenated
transformations.
• During editing process when a graphics model is being developed , the use of
concatenated transformation is quite common
• More than one transformations are usually requires to accomplish the desired
Transformation
e.g.
1. Rotation of the element about an arbitrary point the element
2. Magnifying the element but maintaining the location of one of its points in the same
location
• In the first case transformations would be: translation to the origin, then rotation about
the origin, then translation back to original location
• In the second case , the element would be scaled (magnified) followed by a translation
to
locate the desired point as needed
• The objective of the concatenation is to accomplish a series of image manipulations as
a
single transformation
• The concatenation is the product of the two transformation matrix
• It is important that order of matrix multiplication be the same as the order in which the
Transformations are to be carried out.
Example: Concatenation
• A point to be scaled by a factor of 2 and rotated by 45°. Suppose point under
Consideration was (3, 1). This may be one of the several points defining a geometric
Element
• First accomplish the transformations sequentially,
First consider the scaling
(x’, y ’) = (x, y)S
The same result can be accomplished by concatenating the two transformation matrices,
The product of the two matrices would be
