Computer Aided Design

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of a wide range of computer-based tools that assist engineers, architects and other design professionals in their design activities. It is the main geometry authoring tool within the Product Lifecycle Management process and involves both software and sometimes special-purpose hardware. Current packages range from 2D vector based drafting systems to 3D solid and surface modellers.

CAD is sometimes translated as "computer-assisted", "computer-aided drafting", or a similar phrase. Related acronyms are CADD, which stands for "computer-aided design and drafting", CAID for Computer-aided Industrial Design and CAAD, for "computer-aided architectural design". All these terms are essentially synonymous, but there are some subtle differences in meaning and application.

Sample Code to draw a 3D box 

Sub Box() 
   Dim dOrigin(0 to 2) As Double
   Dim dLength As Double
   Dim dWidth As Double
   Dim dHeight As Double
   Dim myBox As Acad3DSolid
   
   dOrigin(0)=0#
   dOrigin(1)=0#
   dOrigin(2)=0#

   dLength=5#
   dWidth=5#
   dHeight=5#
    
   Set myBox=ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddBox(dOrigin,dLength,dWidth,dHeight)
   ThisDrawing.SendCommand("VPOINT 1,1,1 ")
End Sub
