Features: This textbook is written by the authors based on years of teaching and research experience in computer-aided design (CAD). It primarily introduces the fundamental theories of CAD and knowledge and methods of secondary development for CAD systems, along with abundant examples and program texts. This enables readers not only to master the methods of computer-aided design but also to design and develop CAD application software that meets practical design needs. The book consists of 8 chapters: Chapter 1, Overview; Chapter 2, Data Structures and Databases; Chapter 3, Computer Graphics Processing Technology; Chapter 4, Geometric Modeling and Freeform Curves and Surfaces; Chapter 5, Computer-Aided Analysis and Computation; Chapter 6, Use of AutoCAD Software; Chapter 7, Secondary Development of AutoCAD Software; Chapter 8, Introduction to Other CAD Software. This book can serve as a textbook for a 30-40-hour computer-aided design course for engineering and near-engineering majors in colleges and universities, and can also be referenced by engineering technicians and faculty and students in colleges and universities when developing CAD systems.
