    Engineering drawings evolved from artists' renderings to incorporate more geometry. In the late 18th century, drawing began rapidly evolving with the Industrial Revolution. The 1950s saw the beginnings of computer-aided design (CAD) with programs like SKETCHPAD demonstrating its feasibility. CAD software developed through the 1960s for automotive and aerospace use before becoming commercially available. By the 1980s, CAD programs existed for personal computers and 3D modeling was introduced, changing design. Today, virtually no product is designed without CAD's benefits of reduced errors and increased reusability.

    HISTORY
    Most early practitioners of engineering drawings
    such as Leonardo were also artists.

    Leon Battista Alberti wrote two works that
    explored the need to incorporate more Euclidian
    geometry in contemporary drawings.

    Engineering drawing began to evolve more rapidly
    in the late 18th century and picked up speed with
    the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century.

    Universal Drafting Machine was introduced in
    1930s.

    Lower cost computers that could be operated directly by
    engineering departments began to appear in the mid 1950s.

    The beginnings of CAD can be traced to year 1957, when Dr.
    Patrick J. Hanratty developed PRONTO, the first commercial
    numerical control programming system.

    In 1960, Ivan Sutherland MIT's Lincoln Laboratory created
    SKETCHPAD, which demonstrated the basic principles and
    feasibility of computer technical drawing.

    Most CAD software programs were still 2D replacements
    for drafting, with the main benefits to manufacturers being:
    i) reduced drawing errors
    ii) increased reusability of drawings.

    In 1960s CAD software was developed by internal groups
    at large automotive and aerospace manufacturers.

    General Motors DAC-1
    Mercedes-Benz SYRCO
    Nissan CAD-1

    1969 MAGI released Syntha Vision, first
    commercially available solid modeler program.

    In 1989 T-FLEX and later Pro/ENGINEER
    introduced CADs based on parametric engines.

    In 1982 the first CAD software for
    personal computers - AutoCAD

    NOW
    Virtually no product, building, electronic
    component or system or factory is
    designed today in a developed country
    without the use of this technology.

    Design engineers do analysis today that a
    few years ago was only done by highly
    specialized professionals.

    AutoCAD
    First CAD sofware for PCs. (1982)
    AutoCAD was derived from a 1977 program
    called Interact CAD.
    In 1980s AutoCAD functioned by using
    simple lines and circles.
    Starting in 2007 it has much more advanced
    3D tools that enables greater modelling and
    exploration with high quality.
    Latest : AutoCAD 2014

    Initially named CATI (Conception Assiste
    Tridimensionnelle Interactive French for
    Interactive Aided Three dimensional Design )
    This is icon based CAD software.
    Cost wise it is higher then pro/e, solid edge
    etc.
    Apart from CAD it is having modules in
    CAM and CAE

    NX is an interactive Computer-Aided Design, Computer-Aided
    Manufacturing, and Computer-Aided Engineering
    (CAD/CAM/CAE) system.

    The CAD functions automate the normal engineering, design, and
    drafting capabilities found in today's manufacturing companies.

    The CAM functions provide NC programming for modern
    machine tools using the NX design model to describe the finished
    part.

    The CAE functions provide a number of product, assembly, and
    part performance simulation abilities, across a broad range of
    engineering disciplines.

    Formerly known as Pro/ENGINEER

    A parametric, integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE
    solution created by Parametric Technology
    Corporation (PTC)

    It was the first to market with parametric,feature-
    based, associative solid modeling software.

    Provides solid modeling, assembly modelling and
    drafting, finite element analysis, and NC and tooling
    functionality for mechanical engineers.

    Solid Edge: It is developed by UGS. This is also
    icon based software.
    History" or Regeneration based modeling
    Though it is very user friendly, it is having some
    drawbacks like: user cannot see how the edit
    will interact with its subsequent features, since
    while editing it roll backs
    "Rapid Blue" technology helps the user to create
    complex shapes in an intuitive and easy way.

    Solidworks is a direct competitor of Solid edge.
    It is economical and user friendly.

    Developed by Dassault Systems

    SolidWorks is a Parasolid-based solid modeler,
    and utilizes a parametric feature-based approach
    to create models and assemblies.

    DraftSight is a proprietary freeware 2D
    computer-aided design |(CAD) software
    application.
    Developed by Dassault Systmes and lets
    users create, edit and view .dwg an
    AutoCAD DXF files.
    DraftSight allows users to access DWG/DXF
    files, regardless of which CAD software was
    originally used to create them.
    According to industry estimates, there are
    more than three billion DWG legacy files
    inexistence

    ANSYS offers engineering simulation solution
    sets in engineering simulation that a design
    process requires.
    The company was founded in 1970 by Dr. John
    A. Swanson as Swanson Analysis Systems, Inc.
    (SASI)
    Its primary purpose was to develop and market
    finite element analysis software for structural
    physics that could simulate static(stationary),
    dynamic (moving) and heat transfer (thermal)
    problems.

    LabVIEW(Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation
    Engineering Workbench) is a platform and
    development environment for a visual
    programming language from National
    Instruments.
    The graphical language is named "G".
    LabVIEW is commonly used for data
    acquisition, instrument control, and industrial
    automation on a variety of platforms.

    Rhinoceros 3D


    The software is commonly used for industrial
    design, architecture, marine design, jewelry design,
    automotive design, CAD / CAM, rapid prototyping,
    reverse engineering, product design as well as the
    multimedia and graphic design industries

    Rhino specializes in free-form non-uniform rational
    B-spline (NURBS) modeling.

    Its ability to import and export over 30 file formats,
    which allows Rhino to act as a 'converter' tool
    between programs in a design workflow.
