Before AutoCAD was introduced, most commercial CAD programs ran on or, with each CAD operator (user) working at a separate.

Since 2010, AutoCAD was released as a and as well, marketed as AutoCAD 360. AutoCAD is used across a wide range of industries, by architects, project managers, engineers, graphic designers, and many other professionals. It was supported by 750 training centers worldwide in 1994.

The first version by Autodesk was demonstrated at the 1982 and released that December. As Autodesk's flagship product, by March 1986 AutoCAD had become the most ubiquitous CAD program worldwide.

This and, to a lesser extent, its interchange file format, have become, if proprietary, standards for CAD data, particularly for 2D drawing exchange. [ ] AutoCAD has included support for, a format developed and promoted by Autodesk, for publishing CAD data.

For example, jagged edges may appear. Several vendors provide on-line conversions for free such as Cometdocs.autoCAD commonly use in all purposes. Language [ ] Auto CAD and AutoCAD LT are available for,,,,,,,,,,, and, (also through additional language packs). The extent of localization varies from full translation of the product to documentation only. The AutoCAD command set is localized as a part of the software localization.

Extensions [ ] AutoCAD supports a number of for customization and automation. These include,,, and. ObjectARX is a class library, which was also the base for: • products extending AutoCAD functionality to specific fields • creating products such as AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD Civil 3D • third-party AutoCAD-based application There are a large number of AutoCAD plugins (add-on applications) available on the application store Autodesk Exchange Apps. AutoCAD's, drawing exchange format, allows importing and exporting drawing information. Vertical integration [ ] Autodesk has also developed a few vertical programs: • • AutoCAD Civil • AutoCAD Electrical • AutoCAD ecscad • AutoCAD Map 3D • AutoCAD Mech • AutoCAD MEP • AutoCAD Structural Detailing • AutoCAD Utility Design • AutoCAD P&ID • AutoCAD Plant 3D for discipline-specific enhancements.

For example, (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. Variants [ ] AutoCAD Architecture [ ]. Main article: AutoCAD Architecture (abbreviated as ACA) is a version of AutoCAD with tools and functions specially suited to work. AutoCAD LT [ ] AutoCAD LT is the lower cost version of AutoCAD, with reduced capabilities, first released in November 1993.

Autodesk developed AutoCAD LT to have an entry-level CAD package to compete in the lower price level. AutoCAD LT, priced at $495, became the first AutoCAD product priced below $1000. It is sold directly by Autodesk and can also be purchased at computer stores (unlike the full version of AutoCAD, which must be purchased from official Autodesk dealers). As of the 2011 release the AutoCAD LT MSRP has risen to $1200. While there are hundreds of small differences between the full AutoCAD package and AutoCAD LT, there are a few recognized major differences in the software's features: • 3D Capabilities: AutoCAD LT lacks the ability to create, visualize and render 3D models as well as 3D printing.

• Network Licensing: AutoCAD LT cannot be used on multiple machines over a network. • Customization: AutoCAD LT does not support customization with LISP, ARX,.NET and VBA. • Management and automation capabilities with Sheet Set Manager and Action Recorder. • CAD standards management tools.

AutoCAD LT 2015 introduced Desktop Subscription (rental) from $360 per year AutoCAD 360 [ ] Formerly marketed as AutoCAD WS, AutoCAD 360 is an account-based mobile and web application enabling registered users to view, edit, and share AutoCAD files via mobile device and web using a limited AutoCAD feature set — and using cloud-stored drawing files. The program, which is an evolution and combination of previous products, uses a business model with a free plan and two paid levels — marketed as Pro ($4.99 monthly or $49.99 yearly) and Pro Plus ($99.99 yearly) — including various amounts of storage, tools, and online access to drawings. 360 includes new features such as a 'Smart Pen' mode and linking to third-party cloud-based storage such as. Having evolved from Flash-based software, AutoCAD 360 uses browser technology available in newer browsers including Firefox and Google Chrome.

AutoCAD WS began with a version for the and subsequently expanded to include versions for the,, Android phones, and Android tablets. Autodesk released the version in September 2010, following with the version on April 20, 2011. The program is available via download at no cost from the (), () and (Android). In its initial iOS version, AutoCAD WS supported drawing of lines, circles, and other shapes; creation of text and comment boxes; and management of color, layer, and measurements — in both landscape and portrait modes. Version 1.3, released August 17, 2011, added support for unit typing, layer visibility, area measurement and file management.

The Android variant includes the iOS feature set along with such unique features as the ability to insert text or captions by voice command as well as manually. Both Android and iOS versions allow the user to save files on-line — or off-line in the absence of an Internet connection. In 2011, Autodesk announced plans to migrate the majority of its software to ', starting with the AutoCAD WS mobile application. According to a 2013 interview with Ilai Rotbaein, an AutoCAD WS Product Manager for Autodesk, the name AutoCAD WS had no definitive meaning, and was interpreted variously as Autodesk Web Service, White Sheet or Work Space. Student versions [ ] AutoCAD is licensed, for free, to students, educators, and educational institutions, with a 36-month renewable license available. The student version of AutoCAD is functionally identical to the full commercial version, with one exception: DWG files created or edited by a student version have an internal bit-flag set (the 'educational flag'). When such a DWG file is printed by any version of AutoCAD (commercial or student) older than AutoCAD 2014 SP1, the output includes a plot stamp/banner on all four sides.

Objects created in the Student Version cannot be used for commercial use. Student Version objects 'infect' a commercial version DWG file if they are imported in versions older than AutoCAD 2015. Ports [ ] Windows [ ] AutoCAD is a software package created for Windows and usually any new AutoCAD version supports the current Windows version and some older ones. AutoCAD 2016 and 2017 supports Windows 7 up to Windows 10. Mac [ ] Autodesk stopped supporting Apple's computers in 1994. Over the next several years, no compatible versions for the Mac were released.

In 2010 Autodesk announced that it would once again support Apple's Mac OS X software in the future. Most of the features found in the 2012 Windows version can be found in the 2012 Mac version. The main difference is the user interface and layout of the program.

The interface is designed so that users who are already familiar with Apple's software will find it similar to other Mac applications. Autodesk has also built in various features in order to take full advantage of Apple's Trackpad capabilities as well as the full-screen mode in Apple's. AutoCAD 2012 for Mac supports both the editing and saving of files in DWG formatting that will allow the file to be compatible with other platforms besides the OS X. AutoCAD 2014 for Mac supports Apple OS X v10.9.0 or later (Mavericks), OS X v10.8.0 or later (Mountain Lion) with 64-bit Intel processor.

AutoCAD LT 2013 is now available through the for $899.99. The full-featured version of AutoCAD 2013 for Mac, however, is not available through the Mac App Store due to the price limit of $999 set by Apple. AutoCAD 2014 for Mac is available for purchase from Autodesk's Web site for $4,195 and AutoCAD LT 2014 for Mac for $1,200, or from an Autodesk Authorized Reseller.
