Abstract
CAD Systems are of increasing importance both as a basic technology and as a tool for engineering applications. This paper surveys different types of CAD workstations (PC-based, high-performance) and the possibilities of interconnecting them with special reference to the subject of graphics and geometry standards. The CAD workstation market and the world revenue in engineering graphics are briefly surveyed. The user benefits of CAD and the expected trends for CAD system technology are listed. The bibliography lists references to related work and further technical details.
