CADD> is Computer-Aided-Design-Drafting
Which over the last 20 years or so the term ‘Drafting’ has been dropped so now we have CAD
Computer-Aided-Design
Both terms 'Draw and ‘Draft’ are synonymous with using paper with crayon, pen, pencil, chalk just about any media imaginable
Each term congers the artist more than the designer
Each term is lost to a by-gone period in time before the advent of the computer
The more modern term used in the States is ‘Modeling’ with regards to 3D design work
We still do have drawings although these are now electronic ‘PDFs’ (Portable Document Format)
In the near future the use of paper will all but disappear as the sharing of electronic data exchange of design projects will become the normal in education, government and work through the workstation
Besides there is available ‘translation’ software for nearly every language on the planet so if you want a shortcut to enhance your language skills - use one of those programs
Anyway where did ‘SketchUp’ come from - why isn’t it ‘DrawUp’? Ummmm
Happy 3D Modeling

It was a simple question, which is the correct word for the printed object?
Drawings. Because it is a noun and Drafting is a Verb.

I know I’m way late to this game, but I couldn’t resist: This: 
is a GHOTI
(GH as in “rough,” O as in “women,” and TI as in “nation”)
No one ever said English was an easy language to learn, much less understand,
My two cents on topic: to DRAUGHT (hence draughting) was once the preferred spelling for the act of laying out drawings for objects to be built, fabricated, assembled, etc. Thank the spelling gods that we now spell it DRAFT. A DRAFTSMAN makes DRAWINGS for use by BUILDERS to CONSTRUCT things…or maybe for use by CONTRACTORS to BUILD … oh, never mind.
I’m going Ghoting.!

Let’s just say English isn’t a world language for its inherent qualities, but because of the British empire and the data empire. Still a quite lovely language though in its own way.
We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.
