土木工程专业英语翻译第二十一课（English for civil engineering twenty-first lessons） Twenty-first classes of computer aided drawing and design CADD is a computer aided drawing and design . The original CAD three letter refers to computer aided drawing, but they actually means the computer aided design, computer aided design, or both. CADD better describes the current technology, because many software packages include 3D graphics and 3D design. In addition, many CADD system provides functional analysis, planning products and report, so is a design process. CADD significantly changed the way they think designers produce and record. Although the principle of image exchange has not changed. Create operation and record the designers idea has changed with the development of computer. In the design of drawing technology, design, engineering drawing, component size, and so on are the same. However, the drawing board, triangular ruler, scale and other traditional drawing tools no longer need to convey a design idea. The designer / Draftsman computer system and appropriate software: Design of parts, structure or any product needed; Dont need to paint a design to modify the design, from the computer library call graph blocks or drawings; Automatic replication of frequently used styles; The production schedule and analysis; hard copy complete drawings and drawing elements in a few minutes. Just a few years ago, the CADD program is rough, the interface is not friendly and very difficult to use. Most of the early software need a host computer or to calculate. Even so, they are extremely slow. Such a system costs are so high that only big companies or schools can afford. Now, all this has changed. Some very large and complex application software is still the host, super computer or computer. In addition, these systems become easier to use, faster, and even more powerful. However, the CADD system still need to improve the stability based on. Now, they meet most of the needs of users. These newer sy
