AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software
application. Developed and marketed by Autodesk, AutoCAD was first released in
December 1982 as a desktop app running on microcomputers with internal graphics
controllers.

Before AutoCAD was introduced, most commercial CAD programs ran


on mainframe computers or minicomputers, with each CAD operator (user) working
at a separate graphics terminal. Since 2010, AutoCAD was released as
a mobile- and web app as well, marketed as AutoCAD 360.

AutoCAD was derived from a program begun in 1977 and released in


1979 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 Michael Riddle.

The first version by Autodesk was demonstrated at the 1982 Comdex and
released that December.[7] As Autodesk's flagship product, by March 1986 AutoCAD
had become the most ubiquitous CAD program worldwide. The 2018 release marked
the 32nd major release of AutoCAD for Windows. The 2014 release marked the
fourth consecutive year of AutoCAD for Mac.

Compatibility with other software


ESRI ArcMap 10 permits export as AutoCAD drawing files. Civil 3D permits
export as AutoCAD objects and as LandXML. Third-party file converters exist for
specific formats such as Bentley MX GENIO Extension, PISTE Extension (France),
ISYBAU (Germany), OKSTRA and Microdrainage (UK);[18] also, conversion
of .pdf files is feasible, however, the accuracy of the results may be unpredictable or
distorted. 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 English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Korean, Chinese Simplified, Chinese
Traditional, Brazilian
Portuguese, Russian, Czech, Polish and Hungarian, Albanian (also through
additional language packs).[19] 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 APIs for customization and automation. These
include AutoLISP, Visual LISP, VBA, .NET and ObjectARX. ObjectARX is a C++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 .[20] AutoCAD's DXF, drawing exchange
format, allows importing and exporting drawing information.
