Sumario:At present, thanks to the increase of hardware performance, there is a wide range of CAD systems for personal computers, from small 2D applications to sophisticated and complete 3D systems. CAD systems for PC platforms are studied in this report, analyzing its basic functionalities and fundamental characteristics. We focus on mid-range 3D applications, specifically in mechanical CAD environements. Actual CAD systems are classified according to different criteria, and mid-range systems are characterized. The design methodology is described, distinguishing between the classical approach and the parametric feature-based design. The structure of these systems is studied, briefly describing the typical modules they are made of. Problems with standard CAD file formats are discussed, and the specific interface widgets are presented. Finally, the conclusions are presented. Besides bibliographic references, a list of web sites concerning CAD systems is also included.
