In engineering applications, one may encounter complex design situations. Previously, designs were drawn on sheets and manufactured manually using drafting techniques. Things have changed with the introduction of CAD customization and design automation. CAD customization is the development of support tools and technology which drives CAD automation of repetitive tasks in the design process. Design automation is knowledge based engineering approach which logically combines various engineering concepts with real time application study during product development. The use of CAD software allows designers to introduce more details and save a considerable amount of time. For instance, many of the repetitive tasks can be computerized within CAD software. With customization of CAD functions, organizations automate redundant tasks and experience great time savings. CAD.....
