In the present era , the development of technology was very
fast . Almost all aspects of life began to be touched with
the name of technology . With all the technology feels more
easy to do . Various innovations do not stop
to increase the use and application of technology in
human life . One of the rapidly evolving technology
is CADD ( Computer Aided Design and Drafting ) . development
This technology aims to make it easier for designers
and drafter to visualize their ideas into form
image .
AutoCAD is a CAD program that is quite well known
by the designer and drafter because it offers a variety of
ease and excellence . AutoCAD shown to facilitate
the work of the designer and drafter in visualizing
ideas and their ideas . AutoCAD created or issued
by Autodesk Corporation in 1982 . Starting from the first
coined until the latest products launched ,
AutoCAD continues to experience growth and able to take
to the development of current CAD technology .
AutoCAD is an application program that is used to
drawing and design , such as for modeling ,
create architectural drawings , machinery , civil, electrical , manufacturing , and
others. With AutoCAD , the design process becomes easier ,
fast , and accurate . AutoCAD has excellent facilities
complete . A design can be created with AutoCAD
with easy to edit when there are mistakes and shortcomings ,
has a very varied picture layout , scale
can be changed , adjusted to the paper size , and so
practical storage.

B. Overview CADD
Computer Aided Design and Drafting or better known as
CADD , has been there since 1964 but their use is still
limited to the mainframe . In 1982 , the system began to be known
CADD on a PC with a software that has
AutoCAD name . Now we have to know AutoCAD software
to release 2007 with great capabilities and benefits
and awesome that no longer forms a 2D image
or 3D that can not be drawn by the program .
In AutoCAD there is also a programming language called
AutoLISP that allows us to develop their own
AutoCAD software and can be used as a program
specific , tailored to our needs and requirements .
CADD operator communicates with the computer through input
devices , such as keyboard , mouse , digitizer . In addition , other input
can come from a scanner or file with another extension
such as 3DS , DXF , DXB .
CADD software that will be discussed are AutoCAD , where
The software has great flexibility . AutoCAD
not only be used for specific applications , such as architecture ,
mechanical , geodesy , or machines , but has the ability
to draw anything . If we want to make AutoCAD
a dedicated software , we can add that
called " 3rd party software " , for example :
• Autodesk Architectural Desktop for architectural applications .
• AutoYatch to design boats and sailing boat ( yacht ) .
• Auto - Site - Lite lighting calculations for applications .
• Autodesk Land Desktop for civilian applications , mapping , and
urban design .
• AutoCAD -MAP for GIS applications .
• SEW - CAD for fashion and textile applications .
• Autodesk Mechanical Desktop for mechanical applications .
With the software mentioned above , we can more
increase productivity in areas of our work .
