Abstract:
More and more industries in Sri Lanka are now turning to computers to make
engineering drawings. The most popular software package for computer aided
drawing (CAD) is AutoCAD developed by AutoDESK Inc. of USA. The
computer-Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) centre of
the Department of Mechanical Engineering obtained the AutoCAD package as early
as 1991. CAD/CAM Centre has so far trained over 300 personnel in industry on
the use of AutoCAD by running weekend short courses.
