computer-aided design
Software-assisted blueprint creation
Computer-aided design is the use of software to create, modify, and optimize designs—typically for engineering, architecture, or manufacturing.
Usually abbreviated CAD: The architect showed us the building plans in her CAD program.
CAD replaced drafting tables and T-squares, allowing precise digital blueprints that can be easily revised, shared, and converted to 3D models.
