AutoCAD is a computer-aided drafting software program that enables the user to create precise 2- and 3-dimensional drawings used in construction and manufacturing. You can run the most-recent version of AutoCAD on your Mac or PC. People who learn how to use AutoCAD can create scaled drawings that are used to manufacture equipment, plan infrastructure projects, design electrical circuitry, and build homes and commercial structures.
Can you get autocad for free if you are a student?
At this time, I believe Autodesk will provide students with a limited free version of Autocad. Check with your local college or university.
Some have downloaded illegitimate copies of Autodesk on mIrc and Torrents.
If you attend a university that has a engineering program you can get a 3 year free subscription and get any Autodesk product, including Autocad (see related link). After the 3 years is up you can renew it as long as you are still attending the university. If you do not attend a university all you can get is a 30 day free trial. See attached related link to download any of Autodesk's products for free.
What are the branches of drafting?
Architectural Drawing; drawing of primarily buldings and using wood, concrete, and steel as materials.
Structural/Bridge Drawing; detailing of structural steel and concrete materials.
Machine Drawing; drafting products and details using metals and processes of all sorts and in their various forms, such as: formed, wrought, forged, and cast.
Electrical Drawing; the making of wiring diagrams and harnesses used in buildings, ships, and machinery that use electromotive power and controls.
Electronic Drawing: the drawing of primarily low voltage DC
PC boards and controls.
Graphic Drawing; the drafting of stylized 'pictures' to represent, or render, a concept. the technical aspect is in the drafting and not as much in details.
Ship/Boat Drafting; an area of drawing using a large number of free-form shapes connected to form hulls and other parts of boats and ships.
Airframe Drafting: the drawing of free-form shapes melding with many mechanical interfaces. This discipline requires a high degree of Mil-Spec knowledge.
No. Milkshape 3D is Shareware.
That means you can download, install and Use it, But with some limitations.
The limitation of Milkshape 3D: You can only use it for 30 days.
(after the 30 days are used, you can't save your projects)
Why is a high level language less error prone?
High level languages are far more descriptive and, generally, more like a natural language. In my experience, it has been a lot easier to make a typo in a low level language because you are doing things like directly accessing memory locations and using registers for storage.
How do you make a round smiley face on the computer?
press the shift Bar and then the : colon Bar and the press shift and the nine at the same time and it will automatically change to a round smiley face isn't that cool
Compare the advantage of CAD programs to traditional drawing methods?
1. Designs can be easily be modified on screen without the need for re-drawing.
2. Designs can be stored electronically and easily retrieved.
3. Design data can be directly outputted to printers or CAM equipment.
How do you transfer auto-cad to word?
Word will only allow you to insert pictures. There are a variety of picture file types but the most popular are JPG or JPEG. AutoCAD is not a picture file so you cannot insert it directly. But you can convert it into a picture file format using a screen capture software package such as Snagit. Here's how it works. You capture the AutoCAD image from the screen with Snagit then you save that capture as a JPG file. Then you can insert your newly created JPG into a Word document.
How 3D CAD models can be used in the design process?
I have this assignment as well, it don't take a rocket scientist to figure this out
The CAFM is usually a shortcut of Computer Aided Facility Management.
How do you plot a traverse using AutoCAD 2009?
These techniques apply to basic CAD programs such as AutoCAD, IntelliCAD, etc. If you have a civil/survey program or add-on, such as Land Desktop, SurvCADD, Eagle Point, etc., then there are built-in tools for entering lines and curves.
What are disadvantages of autocad?
Answer.
1. Is not suitable for data base
2. it's case sensitive to error
3. it's combasome
4. It can not be printed as PDF.
Is there a free version of poser available?

What is salary of a mechanical engineer in UK?
Most engineers start on around £25k, this takes about 5 years. Having a BEE etc does not make you an engineer, you then need the experience. Until they have at least 10 years post-graduation experience.
An average graduate Mechnical Engineer will earn around £1791p/m
A senior engineer with 10/15 years experience: £3750.
This figures are from Prospects.ac.uk the UK's official graduate site, and based on data collected in March 07.
When do the grips appear in autocad?
Just left click on any item (line, circle, text, etc.). The grips will appear. You can use them to change the shape by clicking on the grip with your left button and dragging.
