Advantages of AutoCAD in Engineering:-
•Draw to Scale.
•One of the main benefits of AutoCAD is that it allows
you to draw to scale.
•Make Changes Easily and Reduce Risk of Error.
•Calculate Material Quantities for Production.
•Store and Transfer Data Safely.
•Identify Design Problems.
•Easy Layout and Viewing.
•Save Time and Money.
•Draw Accurately.

Mathematics in Autocad:-
There are several ways you can let
AutoCAD do some quick
arithmetic for you when you need a
distance. Let's say you're
drawing a line and you want to use direct
distance entry to
specify the length. take out a pencil and
paper and do the math.

Coordination system for Autocad:-
There are two coordinate systems in AutoCAD. World Coordinate System (WCS) and User
Coordinate System (UCS) which define the angle of the XY plane you are working in.

Autocad design ( 2D and 3D design and drafting ):-
Autodesk that provides architects, engineers, and
construction professionals the ability to create
precise 2D and 3D drawings. Features. Draft,
annotate, and design 2D geometry and 3D models
with solids, surfaces, and mesh objects.
