AutoCAD is a suite of popular CAD software products for 2- and 3-dimensional design and drafting, developed and sold by Autodesk.

Description


Initially a general-purpose 2D drafting program, AutoCAD has evolved into a family of products which provide a platform for 2D and 3D CAD. Today, it is used by civil engineers, land developers, architects, mechanical engineers, interior designers and other design professionals.

Modern AutoCAD includes a full set of basic solid modelling and 3D tools, but lacks the advanced capabilities of solid modelling applications. AutoCAD can co-exist with such products as a 2D drafting tool. Like other CAD programs, AutoCAD is fundamentally a vector graphics drawing program. It uses primitive entities — such as lines, polylines, circles, arcs, and text — as the foundation for more complex objects.
