The document discusses the functions and components of a CAD workstation. A CAD workstation must accomplish five key functions: interface with the central processing unit, generate a graphic image for the user, provide a digital description of the graphic image, translate computer commands into operations, and facilitate communication between the user and system. A typical CAD workstation consists of operator input devices and a graphics terminal to accomplish these functions interactively.
