Introduction

WHAT IS AutoCAD?

Autodesk Company who develop a software named AutoCAD, stands for Autodesk’s Computer aided design. It’s a drafting and designing software. There are several software for drafting and designing available in market, Out of them The AutoCAD is best, because it Works on co-ordinate system that help’s in survey drawing and drafting.

HISTORY OF AutoCAD?

AutoCAD was Came in concept during 1977, and it’s first commercial release was in 1979 with the name Interact CAD. Later on Autodesk Company develop it and Release in 1982 for Microcomputer. Gradually the lighter version for small PC and Notebook were release. In 2010 AutoCAD 360 app was released for mobile.

USAGE OF AutoCAD

AutoCAD is used for 2D and 3D design, mostly for Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Interior & Architecture domain. You can design & draw layout, building plan, mechanical part etc. This software is very popular among small to large scale Companies.

AutoCAD stands for Automatic Computer Aided Design.

WHAT IS NEW IN AutoCAD 2019?

Every year AutoCAD new version is released with some new tools and feature as well as carrying previous feature.

AutoCAD 2019 is also released with some new and enhanced feature.

For ex.

• PDF import
• External file references
• Object selection
• Text to Mtext
• User interface
• Share design views
• High-resolution monitor support
• AutoCAD mobile app

WHAT IS WORKSPACE?

Workspace provides us a platform for carrying out our work with definite sets of Menus, toolbars, palettes, which are displayed according to the work space selected. A workspace may also display the ribbon toolbar; it is a distinct palette with task specific Control panels. One can easily switch between workspaces. We are aided with thefollowing task based Workspaces in AutoCAD 2019:

• 2D Drafting & Annotation
• 3D Modeling
• 3D Basic

Say for example, if we have to create 3D models, we can use the 3D modeling Workspace, which provides us only 3D-related toolbars, menus, and palettes. And Hides the other interface ite...
