The main purpose of this work is to shift from manual Descriptive Geometry exercises method to an automated process using High-Level CAD Templates. Instead of repeatedly creating similar exercises or changing the parameters in the same exercises, users should be able to use High Level CAD Templates to generate future modifications of the same exercise. This paper introduces the Automation process when generating exercises based on CAD script files aided with parametric geometry calculation tools. With the proposed method it is possible to design new exercises without user intervention. The integration of CAD, Mathematics and Descriptive Geometry facilitates their joint learning. Automation of generation of solved exercises not only saves time, put also increases quality of statements and reduces the possibility of human errors.
