CAD - A Promising Tool For Architecture Design Drafting
The use of CAD for Architecture design drafting began late back in 19’s. During that time, CAD software was used only on the computers while in the present modern day world it can be operated on most of the computers and laptops. Let us understand how CAD has contributed in architecture design drafting from beginning till now and what is its scope in the future. Beginning: How CAD was used earlier for drafting? At the time of inception, the drafters used to store CAD drawings in the floppy disks. This disk was shared with the team members of other departments like Mechanical , electrical, plumbing, and Structural . Each team will then add their designs to this disk until all the designs are added. This whole process was very tedious and time-consuming. Also, it had higher risks of errors and redundancies. But CAD, even at the starting stage, provided the benefits of making changes within minutes. This created a revolution in the AEC industry. • Fi...
