    AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) software application used to create 2D and 3D designs. It was first released in 1982 and has since been updated regularly. Each new version of AutoCAD uses an improved file format and introduces new tools and capabilities. It has become one of the most widely used CAD programs due to its flexibility, accuracy, and ability to share files across different versions.

    AutoCAD is

    a commercial software

    application for 2D and 3D computer-aided

    design

    (CAD) and drafting available since 1982 as a desktop application and since 2010 as a mobile weband cloud-based app marketed as AutoCAD 360.
    Developed and marketed by Autodesk, Inc.,[1] AutoCAD was first released in December 1982,
    running onmicrocomputers with internal graphics controllers.[2] Prior to the introduction of AutoCAD,
    most commercial CAD programs ran on mainframe computers or minicomputers, with each CAD
    operator (user) working at a separategraphics terminal

    CADD is an electronic tool that enables us to make quick and accurate drawings.
    CADD has number of advantages over drawings created on a drawing board.
    Electronic drawings can be modified quite easily and can be represented in a variety of formats.
    CADD extends its power to yet another branch of engineering called computer aided
    manufacturing (CAM).
    The following are some of the important capabilities that make CADD a powerful tool.

    Presentations

    Flexibility in editing

    Unit and accuracy levels

    Storage and access for drawings

    Sharing CADD drawings

    History
    AutoCAD was derived from a program begun in 1977 and released in 1979 [5] called Interact CAD,
    also referred to in early Autodesk documents as MicroCAD, which was written prior to Autodesk's
    (then Marinchip Software Partners) formation by Autodesk cofounder Mike Riddle. [6][7]

    The first version by Autodesk was demonstrated at the 1982 Comdex and released that December.
    [8]

    The 2016 release marked the 30th major release of AutoCAD for Windows. The 2014 release

    marked the fourth consecutive year of AutoCAD for Mac.

    File formats and versions[edit]


    The native file format of AutoCAD is .dwg. This and, to a lesser extent, its interchange file
    format DXF, have become de facto, if proprietary, standards for CAD datainteroperability, particularly
    for 2D drawing exchange.[citation needed] AutoCAD has included support for .dwf, a format developed and
    promoted by Autodesk, for publishing CAD data.
    Autodesk's logo and, respectively, AutoCAD icons have changed for several versions through the
    years.

    Autodesk has also developed a few vertical programs (AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD Civil 3D,
    AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD ecscad, AutoCAD Map 3D, AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD MEP,
    AutoCAD Structural Detailing, AutoCAD Utility Design, AutoCAD P&ID and AutoCAD Plant 3D) for
    discipline-specific enhancements. For example, AutoCAD Architecture (formerly Architectural
    Desktop) permits architectural designers to draw 3D objects, such as walls, doors and windows, with
    more intelligent data associated with them rather than simple objects, such as lines and circles. The
    data can be programmed to represent specific architectural products sold in the construction
    industry, or extracted into a data file for pricing, materials estimation, and other values related to the
    objects represented. Additional tools generate standard 2D drawings, such as elevations and
    sections, from a 3D architectural model. Similarly, Civil Design, Civil Design 3D, and Civil Design
    Professional support data-specific objects, facilitating easy standard civil engineering calculations
    and representations. Civil 3D was originally developed as an AutoCAD add-on by a company in New

    Hampshire called Softdesk (originally DCA). Softdesk was acquired by Autodesk, and Civil 3D was
    further evolved.
