Importance of CAD Drafting Services in Construction or Manufacturing Projects

Computer Aided Design Drafting or CAD drafting is the basic and essential part in developing any physical entity. Drafting is basically a representational document which consists of 2 dimensional drawings of any aspired buildings, products or other objects. Nowadays, drafting is done using computer rather than employing traditional manual drafting techniques. Engineers first make a primary CAD design by accumulating their thoughts, later they create detail plan including all required parameters based on that design.

CAD Drafting Services across Construction Industry:

A drafting document improves the transparency of an ordinary 2D design. It has benefitted Construction Engineering industry in various ways.  Computer aided drafting has a wide range of usage in the aspect of Architectural, Structural, MEP and Mechanical services.

In the field of Architectural drafting services, a computerized drafting file clearly illustrates the measurement of walls, position of openings and diagrams, structural details like column and beam length, width and location along with sectional views, elevations as well as floor plans etc.

In Structural Industry, CAD 2D drafting documents are used to describe all structural components and their position, dimension, sectional views, bill of quantities etc.

2D computerized drafting has major roles in the area of MEP and Mechanical services in creating mechanical product drafting, mechanical parts, assembly, shop and fabrication drafting, electrical drafting, MEP FPRO drafting, HVAC system drafting, piping 2D drafting, plumbing drafting etc.

Advantages of CAD 2D Drafting:

• Facilitates us to make conversion of ordinary paper sketches, JPG, PDF, PNG, DWG, DWT, DXF files to CAD files
• Ease the way for Engineer to make drafting documents over the obsolete laborious method
• Computer generated drafting documents are high in accuracy
• Provides privilege of making any kind of modification
• Helps us to make precise estimation of bill-of-materials (BOM) which aids to save unnecessary expenses
• Take less time than old day’s conventional method that in other ways increase productivity and reduce excess resource amount
• 2D draft files are saved with .dwg, .dxf and .dwt extensions
• Computerized drafting documents are basically electronic files which can be used to create new database and these files can be moved and shared from one database  to another

Software Details:

Several advanced CAD software’s are used for drafting services. CAD software’s enables Engineers to add their versatility while developing a draft by using these software’s different in-built features. Some commonly used CAD 2D drafting software’s are:

• AutoCAD LT
• ArchiCAD
• TurboCAD
• MicroStation PowerDraft
• ZWCAD+
