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 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.
