A Cooperative-Oriented Computer-Aided Design System

Computer-aided design system, or CAD system, helps users keep from tedious traditional design process with pens, erasers, and scales by providing convenient, interactive, automated design process assisted by computers. However, since most of CAD systems run as stand-alone, there are still some inconveniency and incapability in fields of team designing and data management. The NetCAD system was designed as efficient, secure, and manageable networking CAD system to support collaborative design process. This paper discusses the software architecture design and implementation of NetCAD system
