Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems require the presentation of visual information of various kinds to users at workstations. This paper discusses how to make use of user studies and behavioral research to design more effective and productive CAD systems. Topics include: • optimizing the color display of printed wiring boards, violations, messages, and menus; • increasing workstation productivity by taking advantage of the characteristics of the human user; and • deriving system abbreviations that are easy for users to learn and remember. The strategies of human factors research and how to make it most valuable by reducing design intervals, costs, and user errors are discussed.
