AutoCAD is a
CAD (Computer Aided Design) software for
2D and
3D design and drafting, developed and sold by Autodesk, Inc. Initially released in late 1982,
AutoCAD is one of the first
CAD programs to run on computers personal, including the IBM PC. Most CAD software on both graphics terminals connected to mainframe computers or mini-computers.
In earlier releases,
AutoCAD used primitive entities - such as lines, polylines, circles, arcs, and text - as a foundation for more complex objects. Since the mid-1990s,
AutoCAD has supported custom objects through its C + + API. Modern
AutoCAD includes a full set of basic
3D modeling tools, but it lacks some more advanced capabilities for
modeling applications [citation needed]. With the release of
AutoCAD 2007 is coming to improve the functionality of 3D modeling, which means a better navigation when you work in 3D. In addition, it has become easier to edit 3D models. Mental ray was included in the renderer, it is now possible to make high-quality renderings.
AutoCAD supports a number of application programming interfaces (APIs) for customization and automation. These include AutoLISP, Visual LISP, VBA,. NET and ObjectARX. ObjectARX is a C + + class library, which is also the base for products extending
AutoCAD functionality to specific fields, to create products such as
AutoCAD Architecture,
AutoCAD Electrical,
AutoCAD Civil 3D, or third-party applications based on
AutoCAD.
AutoCAD native file format, DWG, and to a lesser extent, the format of the paging file, DXF, have become de facto standards
for CAD data interoperability.
AutoCAD in recent years has included support for DWF, a format developed and promoted by Autodesk for publishing
CAD data. In 2006, Autodesk has estimated the number of DWG files to more than one billion. In the past, Autodesk has estimated the total number of DWG files in existence for more than three billion dollars.
AutoCAD currently runs exclusively on Microsoft Windows desktop
operating systems. Versions for Unix and Mac OS were released in the years 1980 and 1990, but they were subsequently abandoned.
AutoCAD can run on an emulator or compatibility layer like VMware Workstation or wine, although subject to various performance issues that may arise when one works with 3D objects or large drawings.
AutoCAD and
AutoCAD LT are available in German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese (No LT), Traditional Chinese, Russian, Czech, Polish, Hungarian (No LT), Brazilian Portuguese (No LT ), Danish, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian and Vietnamese. The extent of localization varies from a full translation of product documentation only.
AutoCAD LTD
AutoCAD LT is a version of
AutoCAD with more limited capabilities. It costs less (approx. US$1200 versus around US$4,000 for the full AutoCAD). Besides being sold directly by Autodesk, it is also available for purchase at computer stores, unlike full
AutoCAD which has to be purchased from an official Autodesk dealer. It was developed so Autodesk could have an entry-level CAD package available to compete in that price class.
AutoCAD LT is marketed as a
CAD package for those who only need 2D functionality.
Compared to the full edition of
AutoCAD,
AutoCAD LT lacks several features: most notably, it has no 3D modeling capabilities (although it has a full suite of 3D viewing functions for looking at 3D models created in other
CAD packages) and does not include any programming interfaces, such as support for most third party programs and does not support AutoLISP programs. A full listing of differences is on the Autodesk website.
[citation needed] AutoCAD LT originated by taking the codebase of
AutoCAD and commenting out substantial portions,
[citation needed] which allowed
AutoCAD and
AutoCAD LT to be developed simultaneously.
AutoCAD Student Versions
AutoCAD is licensed at a significant discount on the retail pricing for qualifying students and teachers, with two of 14 months and available under license. The student version of
AutoCAD is functionally identical to the full retail version, with one exception: DWG files created or modified by a student have an internal bit-indicator (the "educational flag"). When such a DWG file is printed by any version of
AutoCAD (commercial or student), the output will include a field buffer / banner on all four sides. The objects created in the version for students can not be used for a commercial use. These objects can student version and "infect" a commercial version if the import of DWG files.
The Autodesk student community provides students with free access to Autodesk applications. If AutoCAD is not available in standalone downloadable application, students have access to some other applications, including
AutoCAD, such as Civil3D or
AutoCAD Architecture.
