What is AutoCAD?

AutoCAD was developed by Autodesk, a software company based in San Rafael, California. First released in 1982 and has since become one of the most widely used CAD software programs in the world.

AutoCAD is used in a variety of industries, including architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, and product design. AutoCAD can be used for both 2D and 3D design, allowing users to create detailed drawings and models with precision.

AutoCAD includes a wide range of tools for creating and editing drawings and models, including lines, circles, arcs, polygons, and splines.

AutoCAD uses a command-line interface for entering commands and executing actions, making it easy for experienced users to work quickly and efficiently.

AutoCAD supports multiple file formats, including DWG, DXF, and DWF, making it easy to share and collaborate on drawings and models with other software programs.

AutoCAD includes collaboration features, such as shared views and cloud storage integration, making it easy for teams to work together on projects.
