The Research of the Possibilities and Application of the AutoCAD Software Package for Creating Electronic Versions of Textbooks for "Engineering and Computer Graphics" Course

Abstract

In this paper there are examples showing that AutoCAD (computer-aided design (CAD)) was and still is a powerful tool for technical graphics. Since Autodesk is a pioneer in the market of commercial widely available CAD systems, in this company CAD principles (which can be used by relatively unprepared users), nature and volume of teams, sequence and features of their implementation were developed. Despite the fact that today AutoCAD is only one of many packages, and its use as a training program guarantees not only high-quality training of specialists, but also the fact that the employee can easily switch to another CAD system, intuitively understanding the principles of function. In terms of technical performance, AutoCAD is a complete tool covering the entire spectrum of functions in the field of "Engineering and Computer Graphics" course.
