Problem

Solutions: CAD - Computer Aided Design: CADs are specialized computers and application programs used in design-related fields such as architecture, engineering, and graphic design. CAD applications are graphics and mathematics intensive, and require fast microprocessors, high-resolution video displays and generally math coprocessors. Vast libraries of images are available at reasonable prices and CAD software makes it easy to modify them for a specific purpose. Because CAD drawings are recorded as lines and arcs, with mathematical coordinates for the start and stop points, they are accurate and can be reproduced at any size or scale without losing quality. When a change is made, the relationship to all other elements in the drawing remains constant. CAD files are easily transferred between different software packages and computer systems. Most publishers have adopted AutoCAD's .DXF file transfer format.
