Its use in designing electronic systems is known as electronic design automation ( EDA). The term CADD (for c omputer aided design and drafting) is also used. CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations. Designs made through CAD software are helpful in protecting products and inventions when used in patent applications.
CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing. Computer-aided design ( CAD) is the use of computers (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.
