What is AutoCAD
AutoCAD was one of the first Computer Aided Design programs to be made available on personal computers.
AutoCAD is a CAD (Computer Aided Design or Computer Aided Drafting) software application for 2D and 3D design and drafting.
AutoCAD design and drafting software is AutoCAD® software for manufacturing, purpose-built to accelerate the mechanical design process. Part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, it includes all the functionality of AutoCAD, one of the world’s leading 2D CAD design software, plus comprehensive libraries of standards-based parts and tools for automating common mechanical CAD tasks. AutoCAD design software helps save hours of design time, so you can spend time innovating rather than drafting
