CAD: Main Entry: CAD Function: abbreviation computer-aided design sample drawing: This is my sample drawing of a 2-d cad drawing. Though I am still an amateur in the cad department, the program allows even the most inexperienced of users to create a drawing as accurate as a pro. The beauty of cad is that no matter how terrible someone may be at drawing, their images still come out perfect with the aid of the cad program. See the bottom of this page for links to other cad programs. With the cad program certain buttons are available to the user which allow for a more accurate drawing. The "snap" button allows the user to go from a point A to point B on the dots. The "grid" button allows the user to create a grid, at any desired size, in order to make drawings of precision dimensions more easily. Finally the "ortho" button keeps the drawer from making a diagonal line so as to ensure that all lines are straight without the possibility of error. The "realtive cordinates" button also allows the user to plug in the exact location of where he/she would like a line to be drawn.
