The publisher claimed that more than 2 million engineers are using this software in 165,000 companies.

It has become very popular in the market and got popularity.

SOLIDWORKS is 3D modeling software published by Dassault Systèmes in 1995. Models for which some specialized specific software It becomes difficult for some specific geometries (e.g. VersionsĪutoCAD has a vast used and high market share but Figure 2 shows the comparison between the top three software in the international market (, 2019).įigure 2: Shows the comparison between the top threeĬAD software in terms of market value 2.5. Ever since its development in December 1982, Its’ market value started increasing rapidly and at present, its market share is 56.00% and is increasing rapidly. Market ShareĪuto CAD is broadly used commercially and academically for designing in various fields of science and technology. as shown in figure 1.įigure 1: Interface of AutoCAD 2.4. It contains quick panel, ribbon tab, view cube, command panel etc. The interface of AutoCAD is user-friendly to an extent. Models are used for various simulations in other softwares packages as well likeĪuto CAD has many other features as well (Jane, 2019). Surface, Solid and Mesh Modelingįeature is used for creating different surfaces, solid objects and different meshed models. This feature is quite useful in various fields of science and technology. This feature of Auto CAD, we can create and selected different visual options. This software is widely used in civil drawings, infrastructural planning and designing of mechanical components (, 2019). CAD Software Programsįollowing are some of the software packagesĪutoCAD is basically a 3D computer-aided design software which is used for making 3 D drawings as well as 2 D sketches. Today starting for CAD to manufacturing and inspection as well,Īll the processes are being done by pc operated software packages and the world After the invention ofĬomputer-aided designing, using software packages for designing became popular in almost all fields of scienceĪnd technology. IntroductionĬomputer Aided designing was initiated in the Mainly CAD software packages like AutoCAD, SOLIDWORKS, Fusion 360, Solid Edge, CATIA and Pro E have been discussed. This report presents some of the basic features, market demand and interface of some of the CAD software packages which are being used in various fields of science and technology. Some cad programs are used for general purpose and by various industries. This report presents the basic literature overview of various CAD software packages and programs which are used commercially and for academic purposes.
