Computer-aided design is usually associated with interactive computer graphics（known as a CAD system）. Computer-aided design systems are powerful tools and are used in the mechanical design and geometric modeling of products and components. 计算机辅助设计（CAD）是指用计算机来创造设计图纸和产品模型。计算机辅助设计通常是与交互式计算机图形学（称为CAD系统）有关系的。计算机辅助设计系统是功能强大的工具，被用于在机械设计以及产品和零件的几何建模。 In CAD，the drawing board is replaced by electronic input and output devices. When using a CAD system，the designer can conceptualize the object to be designed more easily on the Graphics screen and can consider alternative designs or modify a particular design quickly to meet the necessary design requirements or changes. The designer can then subject the design to a variety of engineering analyses and can identify potential problems （such as an excessive load or deflection）.The speed and accuracy of such analyses far surpass what is available from traditional methods. 在CAD（计算机辅助设计）中，传统的画图板被电子输入和输出设备所替换。当使用CAD系统时，设计者可以使对象概念化以便更容易在图形屏幕上设计，并且可以考虑替代设计或快速地修改一个特定的设计来达到必要的设计要求或变化。因而设计者可以提供多种工程分析并且可以识别潜在的问题（如过负荷或变形）。这些分析的速度和准确性都远远超过了传统的方法。 Draft productivity rises dramatically. When something is drawn once，it never has to be drawn again. it can be retrieved from a library ,and can be duplicated, stretched, sized, and changed in many ways without having to be redrawn。Cut and paste techniques are used as labor-saving aids. 设计生产率的提高是显著的。当某些图形被绘制一次后，就没必要再画第二次。它可以从图形库中恢复，可以被复制，拉伸，改变大小，和其他许多方面的改变而无需重新绘制。剪切和粘贴技巧作为节省劳力的助手被使用。 CAD makes possible multiview 2D drawings ，and the drawings can be reproduced in different levels of reduction and enlargement. It gives the mechanical engineer the ability to magnify even the smallest of components to ascertain if assembled components fit
