V. Procedure

CAD is in!
Computer-aided drawing is a technique where the attributes of the computer and those of the
designer are combined into a problem-solving team. Using this software would mean faster and
easier production of quality output. CAD is an essential skill to be acquired by draftsman
nowadays to finish an assigned task.

Lesson 1. Operate CAD Software and Computer Hardware

This lesson enables the student to operate CAD software and identify the different computer
hardware and its functions.

A. Hardware
A computer’s hardware includes all the physical parts of the computer. These are the parts that
we can see and touch. The hardware components include the Central Processing Unit (CPU),
the keyboard, the monitor and primary storage memory (RAM), and the
secondary storage memory. Peripherals include disk drives, mouse,
digitizers, printers/plotters, etc.

System Unit – The main part of a microcomputer, is sometimes called

the chassis. It includes the following parts: motherboard,
microprocessor, memory chips, buses, ports, expansion slots, and
cards.

Sample System Unit

 The Central Processing Unit (CPU) – is the brain of the computer where it
performs all instructions and calculations that are needed to manage the flow
of information. It holds instructions, data, and intermediate results during
processing. It also receives instructions from software or computer programs
and executes them.

Sample Central Processing Unit

Keyboard – is the principal device for communicating with your computer. All keyboards have
letter keys, punctuation keys, and a space bar which is like the keys on a typewriter. Keyboards
also have functions, numeric and arrow keys in additional to Alt, Ctrl, and Enter keys.

Sample Keyboard

Monitor – it has a screen that displays information, such as the

instruction you send to your computer and the information and
results from your computer sends back after interpreting your
instruction.

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) – it is known as a hard drive. A storage

device that is installed inside the computer. The hard drive is used as
permanent storage for data. In a Windows computer, the hard drive is usually
configured as the C: drive and contains the operating system and applications. Sample Monitor

Optical Drive – is a storage device that

uses lasers to read data on the optical
media. There are three types of optical
drives: Compact Disc (CD), Digital
Versatile Disc (DVD) and Blu-ray Disc
(BD).
Sample HDD
Sample Optical Drive
Digitizer Tablet – is a graphics drawing tablet used for sketching new images or tracing old ones.
It is also called a "graphics tablet," where the user writes or draws on the surface of the device
with a wired or wireless pen or puck. Often, mistakenly called a mouse, the puck is officially the
"tablet cursor."

Sample Digitizer Tablet

 Mouse – is a small hand-held device used to control the cursor/crosshair
on the screen. It is used to select an item by pointing to it and clicking
a button.

Sample Mouse

Printer – It is an output device that is used to print information

processed by your computer. Printers and plotters vary in speed
and output capabilities.
Sample Printer
Plotter – an output device that can produce better quality drawings as
compared to the printer, however, the speed of plotter is generally
slower than a printer.

Sample Plotter
A. SOFTWARE

The software is the set of programs that make a computer run. Opposite to hardware, the
software is an intangible part of a computer. They are sets of instructions that tell the computer
what to do to come up with the desired result. The software can be categorized into two main
groups: operating system software and application software.

OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE

The operating system software provides
various levels of interaction (called
interface) between the computer and
the user, as well as between the
computer and the application software.
These are the programs that work
without your intervention. They
automatically open once you boot your
computer. Some of their tasks include
loading and running programs,
checking, and protecting computers,
and controlling hardware.
Samples of Operating System
o LINUX
o WINDOWS
o MacOS

Application Software

The application software is the programs installed in a computer. It is also called as programs.
These enable you to do different tasks like typing, making presentations, editing pictures and
videos, and surfing the internet. It has a specific use or task to perform such as AutoCAD for
Architectural drawings and layouts, Lotus 1-2-3 for business and marketing, Adobe Photoshop
for image processing, and so on.

B. CAD System

Introduction to CAD System

Computer-aided design (CAD), also known as computer-aided drafting and design

(CADD), is the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, and
analysis of a design. It is a process of creating technical drawings with the use of
computer software. CAD software is used to increase productivity and to improve
the quality of design.
Computer-aided design has been around since 1964. However, it was not broadly used
until 1982, when the CAD system such as AutoCAD became accessible on microcomputers.
ACAD software uses either vector-based graphics to show the objects of traditional drafting or
may also produce faster graphics showing the realistic images of the designed objects.
CAD may be used to design curves and figures in two-dimensional (2D) space; or curves,
surfaces, and solids in three-dimensional (3D) space. CAD is avital industrial art widely used in
many applications, including automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries; industrial and
architectural design; prosthetics; and many more. CAD is also widely utilized to produce
computer animation for special effects in movies, advertising, and technical manuals.
Modern electronic drafting tools are often specialized computer-aided design packages.
Basic drafting tools are included in all CAD programs, but some offer advanced automation that
is specifically designed for drafting and architectural design. The tools that are right for you will
depend on your budget.

AutoCAD
An AutoCAD is a commercial product made by Autodesk, with many versions, including
one called AutoCAD Architecture. AutoCAD Architecture has purpose-built features specifically
designed for architectural drafting. In addition to design tools for initial architectural
conceptualization, it offers tools to make building renovations faster and easier. The productivity
tools include those that reflect the actual design of walls and other structures. AutoCAD can
maintain precise dimensional spacing among components such as walls, beams, columns, and
doors. AutoCAD Architecture offers a library of pre-built components to help speed up and
automate the design and construction process.
Starting an AutoCAD

There are many ways of starting the AutoCAD program. It would depend on your
preferences the way you want to start. Follow each of the steps below:

1. From the Start Menu.

- Click Start >Look for AutoCAD Folder>Double click on AutoCAD Architecture from the
Windows Program Manager

2. From a desktop shortcut or quick launch toolbar.

- Double-click the AutoCAD icon from your desktop.

3. By opening the drawing file.

- Double-click the drawing file icon inside a folder or in any location from your computer.
