CAD: computer-aided design, computer-aided drafting; cadmium [plating]: CAGE: Commercial and Government Entity [code]: A CAGE code is a unique identifier to label an entity (that is, a specific government agency or corporation at a specific site) that is a CDA, ODA, or MFR of the part defined by the drawing.
Checkers, software that analyze CAD data formats, are often employed before and after data translation. The checkers can check the organization and quality of the data against internal company standards and international or industry standards. These checkers can be built into specific CAD packages or work on a number of CAD file formats.
View of a CAD model of a four-cylinder inline crankshaft with pistons. A 3D CAD system (such as KeyCreator, Autodesk Inventor, or SolidWorks) first produces the geometry of the part; the technical drawing comes from user defined views of that geometry. Any orthographic, projected or sectioned view is created by the software.
Most engineering drawings are language-independent—words are confined to the title block; symbols are used in place of words elsewhere. [ 18 ] With the advent of computer generated drawings for manufacturing and machining, many symbols have fallen out of common use.
ISO 13567 is an international Computer-aided design (CAD) layer standard. ISO 13715:2017 Technical product documentation — Edges of undefined shape — Indication and dimensioning ISO 15786:2008 Technical drawings — Simplified representation and dimensioning of holes
The glyphs in Block Elements each share the same character width in most supported fonts, allowing them to be used graphically in row and column arrangements. However, the block does not contain a space character of its own and ASCII space may or may not render at the same width as Block Elements glyphs, as those characters are intended to be ...
Example of true position geometric control defined by basic dimensions and datum features. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is a system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances via a symbolic language on engineering drawings and computer-generated 3D models that describes a physical object's nominal geometry and the permissible variation thereof.
Screenshot from AutoCAD with various geometric dimensioning and tolerancing datum reference symbols (total indicator reading, perpendicularity, and parallelism. An engineering datum used in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing is a feature on an object used to create a reference system for measurement. [1]
