ABSTRACT

A computer-aided design and manufacturing operation requires that certain concepts be displayed at the Video display tube (VDT) of the graphics terminal. To computerize the industrial design process, the design language structure for a computer-aided design display has to be a series of commands that move the VDT beam, plotter pen, or tool path such that the end result is a properly drawn design, working drawing, or finished production part. The network branches into production control, tool design, and manufacturing operations, which have four primary data types: Geometric, Detail design, computer-aided design and manufacturing, and computer-aided manufacturing. All computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) personnel must understand how the network is organized so that they can get information from and put information into the database. The GenCADD Architectural/Civil series is used by architects, space planners, home builders, facility planners, interior designers, landscape architects, and civil engineers.
