AutoCAD — Product Overview

AutoCAD is a professional computer-aided design (CAD) software developed by Autodesk, used for creating highly precise 2D and 3D design, drafting, modeling, and documentation. It’s one of the industry’s most widely adopted CAD tools.

Key points about AutoCAD:

🔹 Design & Drafting Tools:
AutoCAD provides robust tools for detailed 2D drafting and 3D modeling, including geometry creation, annotation, and modification features for professional design workflows.

🔹 Enhanced Productivity:
Includes automation and AI-assist features (e.g., Autodesk AI insights, block detection, markup import/assist) to speed up repetitive tasks and streamline design processes.

🔹 Collaboration & Accessibility:
Work on your designs across desktop, web, and mobile devices, so you can edit, share, and review DWG files from virtually anywhere.

🔹 Industry-Specific Toolsets:
AutoCAD includes specialized toolsets for disciplines such as architecture, mechanical design, electrical systems, plant design, and mapping — aimed at increasing productivity within industry workflows.

🔹 Integration & Data Management:
Manage your design data effectively with cloud storage and integration with Autodesk Docs, enabling easier review and approval workflows.

🔹 Flexible Licensing:
AutoCAD is offered as a subscription (term-based licensing), including access to web and mobile apps.

Typical Uses
