From the construction of the Pyramids in Egypt to the roads
and aqueducts of Rome, Designers have been planning, modeling
and supervising the construction of projects since the earliest
days of civilization. In the late 19th century, orthographic
drawings started to replace the more artistic representation
of structures such as field fortifications and bridges, so a
crew of specialized workers could complete a project by reading
top, front and side views of hand drawn prints. By the late
20th century, the designer can use the power of Computer Aided
Design (CAD) software to continue with the pursuit of design,
by making 3D models of the creation, and outputting the necessary
information for production.
The World Class CAD - The Language of Drawing introduces the
rules that we follow and the techniques used in communicating
to fellow professionals and to the workers building and maintaining
our designs.
