Please submit English language sites in this category and its subcategories that directly inform about CAD topics and related products.
NO SERVICE BUSINESSES! Those should instead be submitted to Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Engineering/CAD or one of its subcategories. NO REGIONAL RESELLERS! Resellers and distributors of CAD systems will be accepted to the category of the locality in the Regional branch where their business is physically located. |
Computer Aided DesignComputer software and (sometimes) hardware used to design things. A CAD system might be as simple as a computerized drafting tool or as complex as a parametric mechanical constraint system, a routing and layout software for integrated electronic circuits, or an architectural program that knows about the physical and spatial properties of constructive elements in a building.
Software for CAD drafting without 3d modelling capabilities.

Please only submit sites containing listings of formal associations involved in investigations pertaining to the above. If the site is only a personal opinion or individually driven, maybe you could apply for the AEC design category instead |
This category encompasses all software which is directly involved in or closely related to the production electronic data for the design and production of buildings and surrounds.It covers the creation of concepts through to the production of working documentation.
It encompasse the creation of "Virtual Buildings" down to the production of 2D working drawings.
Organizations relating to the CAD industry and it's professions.

Please submit sites here and in the local subcategories that directly relate to the AutoCAD software and it's extensions. Do not submit sites about companies that use AutoCAD here. Those should instead be submitted to Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Engineering/CAD/AutoCAD. |
AutoCAD is a general purpose computer aided design (CAD) package, manufactured by Autodesk, Inc. The software can be extended by using a number of compiled or interpreted programming languages, most prominently AutoLISP. Current versions of AutoCAD run exclusively on Microsoft Windows systems.

Please submit sites in this category and its subcategories that directly inform about CAD/CAM topics and related products. Do not submit sites about companies that use CAD/CAM systems here. Those should instead be submitted to /Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Engineering/CAD/ or one of its subcategories. Resellers and distributors of CAD/CAM systems will be accepted to the category of the locality in the Regional branch where their business is physically located. |
A CAM System produces a GCode program that runs a CNC machine. CNC Equipment comes in many flavors: Horizontal and Vertical Machining Centers (Mills), Two & Fours Axis Lathes, CY Axis Lathes (a mill and lathe in one machine), Routers, two & four axis wire EDM, Screw Machines, Lasers, Plasma Arcs, Punch and Nibble (fabrication equipment) and Water Jets. Then there is the Software to support CAM (getting the program to the machine) DNC - Direct Numerical Control. This software communicates from the computer at the programmer's desktop to the CNC Machine transmitting the program to the Machine that produces the part.
DataCAD is a brand of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software designed primarily for architecture, engineering and construction.This category is for sites and pages specifically about DataCAD software use and related sales, support or services.
Link collections, general resource sites, and searchable databases serving the CAD industry, not specialized to any specific software package.

The critical elements for submission are the ability to:
1. Read an electronic file that contains technical (primarily engineering, manufacturing, quality, service, or other product-related) data (a) created by a technical authoring tool, such as a mechanical or electrical CAD software application, or (b) in a file format that is specifically intended for product data exchange, such as STEP, GERBER or PDX.
2. Transform the file into a different format and/or permit the editing of the file
3. Create an electronic file from which technical data may be extracted for use by computer applications or systems.
If the purpose is to render or transform technical data solely for human use, such as in publications or as training materials, then consider submitting here: Computers: Software: Online_Training: Authoring Computers: Data_Formats: Document: Publishing |
Software and services related to the reading, manipulation and/or transformation, and output of electronic data for purpose of facilitating technical product data transfer from one computer system or software application to another.
Sites that inform about teaching and learning general CAD skills.
| Please submit sites of developers of software for design or analysis of electrical circuits or systems with frequency domain behavior |
EDA = Electronic design automation
Sites that list job offers and resumes in the CAD field, or about related recruiting service companies.
A low cost CAD system designed with the goal of compatibility to AutoCAD on the file format and API levels.
| Since this category is concerned with CAD and GIS intergration issues, submissions that are strictly GIS should be directed to the GIS category. |
This category contains entries that focus on CAD and GIS intergration issues and technologies.
| This category is for sites specifically related to Cadcentre's 3D Plant Design Management System (PDMS) software package. |
Cadcentre's Plant Design Management System for multi-user 3D design of manufacturing plants, available for Unix and Windows NT.

Pro/ENGINEER is a 3D parametric solid modeling CAD package. The parametric features make modeling flexible, as models are able to change based on the modification of their parent parts and assemblies. Pro/E is a high end manufacturing CAD system that can range in price from a few thousand per seat for Foundation to $40k per seat with all the options. Modules include parts, assemblies, drawings, sheetmetal, surfacing, NC, piping, cabling, ecad, mold, weldments, and behavioral modeling (BMX). There are a host of different PDM systems to help you manage Pro/E files.
Sites that offer libraries of parts and object data for CAD systems either for download or to order.
| Please submit sites that (a) offer software products that comprehensively manage product data, and/or (b) offer services, advice or training primarily related to implementing such software. [1] Computer-aided design (CAD) and other technical authoring tools should be submitted to another category under Computers: CAD and CAM. [2] Versioning systems for managing software exclusively (software configuration management [SCM]) should be submitted to Computers: Software: Configuration Management: Tools. [3] CAD/PLM/ERP data translation/edit/export tools should be submitted to Computers: CAD and CAM: Drawing Exchange and Interoperability. [4] General purpose data management systems that do not offer features specific to managing technical product data should be submitted under Computers: Software: Document Management. [5] Service providers that offer planning, implementation or training related to more than PDM/PLM (such as CAD/CAM/ERP/SCM or document management) should be submitted to Computers: Consultants: CAD Systems or to Computers: Consultants: Business Systems: Document Management |
Product Data Management (PDM), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Engineering Data Management Systems (EDMS) and general Configuration and Data Management (CM/DM) applications offer a centralized repository for managing design and process data. PDM and PLM products and their related services address most of the following areas: control of product-related document revisions & physical part records, item classification & attributes, bills of material (BOMs) creation and management, electronic file archival & retrieval, project task management, item costing, engineering changes, change approval workflow, materials content, end-of-life recovery & disposal information, CAD and/or ERP data exchange.
| Please submit only sites dealing with raster to vector conversion software. Sites with other CAD, GIS, or CAM related items should look for an appropriate category under "Computers:CAD and CAM." Other sites that feature products that include but are not limited to raster to vector should look for an appropriate category in "Computers:Software." |
Category featuring raster to vector conversion programs.
TurboCAD is a general purpose 3D CAD package with solid modelling capabilities, that is most often used for achitectural and mechanical design.
