In speaking of modern higher education, we mean an
educational system that allows young specialists to fit into the labour
market. Such specialists need to be equipped with the necessary
knowledge and skills not only to perform work on the project, but
also to attack the problem creatively. The task of higher school is
to provide the necessary set of knowledge and skills that will allow
young specialists to work successfully and to be on the march. The
language of communication of engineers is drawings. Computer
drawings allow reducing the working time considerably in the development,
production, remediation, transfer, and retention. Therefore, the ability to use drawing program for working with images is
necessary. Despite all the powerful design tools and visualization,
a key moment in computer design is the documentation of the
product and its design in accordance with accepted standards that
is considered to be an integral part of the design process. After the
successful development of a 2D environment, the expert can confidently
move on to 3D modeling that facilitates the receipt of
drawings and models at times and gives you the opportunity to
inspect the settings of the virtual model and, if necessary, to improve
them significantly. Usage of different CAD-systems for communication
engineers- partners is a reality. Therefore it is very useful for
a specialist to be able to use different programs. Modern graphic
programs (AutoCAD, SolidEdge) have many similar opportunities,
but they also have some differences. Knowledge of several drawing
programs is necessary and reduces the amount of time for the skills
development for usage of each CAD-system is the problem of the
future engineer.
The article compares two different programs and the possibility
of using the both CAD-systems for working with drawings.
