Mechanical CAD v/s Civil CAD


Computer-Aided Design or CAD is a general term which is used to describe the application of tools and software to produce technical 2D and 3D drawings. In general, Computer-Aided Design is used to convert geometric patterns into various designs.



AutoCAD is an exclusive software application for Civil CAD which is used to create various designs. It was created by Autodesk in 1982. AutoCAD is a program applied in all aspects of design for manufacturing, infrastructure and construction, along with entertainment and tools to create 3D visuals and effects.


Difference between Mechanical CAD and Civil CAD

Basically, it is believed that there is no important difference between mechanical and civil CAD programs. The variation is when it is practised for both of various fields. Civil CAD is used by a civil engineer to create structures like foundation, beams etc. On the other side, Mechanical  CAD may be used by a mechanical designer to produce any mechanical part.

Mechanical CAD is accelerated to all the functionality of AutoCAD, along with libraries of tools and parts based on models. With 3D and 2D CAD application, you can create each and every aspect. You can simply share designs across cloud, desktop, and mobile.  


Uses
As the name suggests, Mechanical CAD is used to create, document and modify mechanical designs in the production industry.

On the other side, CivilCAD is used in 2D drawings, drafting and documentation, and 3D visualization and modelling.



Use of Mechanical CAD?

  1. For drafting and design in the manufacturing industry
  2. Providing a library of comprehensive standard parts to promote design
  3. For automating various tasks in mechanical engineering, such as creating documentation and dimensioning of materials, and generating components of the machine.
  

Use of Civil CAD?
  1. To edit and create 2D geometry and 3D models with surfaces, solids, and mesh objects.
  2. Customize tool and ribbon palettes
  3. Annotate drawings with dimensions, text, tables, and leaders
  4. Customize with APIs and add-on apps
  5. Import and attach data from PDF
  6. Extract object information to tables
  7. Keep track on and apply CAD standards
  8. Use and share data from Bing Maps, DGN files, and Navisworks
