CAD - Computer Aided Design resources

Technical drawing skills are basic skills required in all technical professions nowadays. Here and there the drawing board is still used (I have learned it this way in the late sixties) - however even a DOS based CAD application is an incredible progress compared to that time.

DOS Section



 

Some DOS based CAD software which we have found on the Internet:
(this list is by far not complete - we will add over time)

We have uploaded the following packages onto our site.

( We are not technicians / engineers, so we are asking for your feedback about the experience with certain tools we have listed here. )

 dc215.zip             CAD Package gen. for DOS                                          dcwin2.zip   (Win Version of dc215.zip)
 pcdcad.zip            CAD Package gen. for DOS (s.a. Simtel below)

Windows Section
 



 

There is no doubt about it that far more sophisticated packages are now available under MS-Windows in the CAD area

At first some useful links:

 www.cadscene.com

CAD SCENE is one of the most useful resources on the Internet for teachers and students regarding CAD training. Any institution planning to introduce CAD should not miss this site. We have downloaded all the training material from their web site because the material is such a valuable resource.

This site is a must for everyone who wants to learn and to teach CAD.

The TRICAD Software can be downloaded for FREE from their site (see under CAD Exercises). It is however a limited version, so bigger projects cannot be saved.

To save you some download time, we have put all the documents listed there in .ZIP files on our site - however you should always have a look at their site first and if possible download the latest versions.

 bas.zip
 cadscene_docs.zip    ( in Word 97 format )      We plan to bring them also in .rtf format esp. for those with older systems !
 command.zip
 command1.zip
 command2.zip

[ We have the Tricad Software Demo Version and the bigger file: tricadpntfix.zip downloaded, but not put onto our site. Just in case their site cannot be reached. ]

Without any doubt CADSCENE is a very important resource for everyone !


 Another important web site:

 www.caddprimer.com

They offer a FREE CAD book, a FREE on-line tutorial, FREE CAD magazines and more.

The CAD book:        cad-fr.zip
The online course:      cad_course.zip   (you can download the pages for off-line viewing)
 


A great software catalogue, also with CAD Shareware and FREEWARE can be found at:
 
  www.ummah.net/software/softbase

From the following web site TURBOCAD 4 from IMSISOFT can be downloaded FREE for educational purposes (~ 15 MB) :

 www.imsisoft.com       ( click on FREE Software in the left panel )
 


To be continued ..... with more CAD software for MS-Windows, esp. earlier versions, FREEWARE !
