Overview to CAD "This program explores how computer assisted drafting (CAD) has replaced the hand tools used in previous years. The computer has changed the way work is completed, saves time and money, and produces a better product. A thorough history documents the technological advances leading to CAD, beginning with the late 1950s. Continuing development promises to allow greater creative output. A detailed examination of CAD hardware and software notes the many upgrades leading to the AutoCAD program. Three dimensional images generated with CAD bypass the need for physical models. This capability extends to computer-animated tours and continues to expand drafting into new areas. Part of the series Drafting. (16 minutes)"

An Overview of Drafting "This program examines the graphic communication of ideas. Often called the universal language of industry, drafting is an integral part of design, engineering, and architecture. Getting an idea to a finished product involves several steps. Each step utilizes graphic communication from the initial sketch, technical specifications, and model to the final construction. Necessary drafting skills include visualizing objects from many views, using tools and equipment, and learning a standard language. Proficiency in math, especially geometry, is important.
