Development of AutoCAD began in 1971, and the software was originally designed to work on the DEC VAX, which was the world's fastest computer at the time. That first version of AutoCAD was called APT (Automatic Plotter Tool) and it was a command line graphics program. The first commercially released version of AutoCAD was version 1.0, and was released in December 1982 on the PDP-10 minicomputer. The name Autodesk came from the acronym of "automatic design software". The Autodesk name and logo were conceived in 1976 by Michael Makowsky, the son of Bernard Makowsky, who in 1977 co-founded Autodesk. The first version of AutoCAD was completely owned and developed by Bernard Makowsky. He managed a team of three other programmers and artists. The third member of the team was experienced British programmer Ian Croft. The first complete commercial release of AutoCAD was version 2.0 in March 1983.
The original AutoCAD was developed by Bernard Makowsky, Ian Croft, and Roy Piper (from 1973 until the software was completed in 1978). Originally, the authors aimed for a 3-dimensional capability. However, when they presented their work to Autodesk, Autodesk requested that the CAD software be made into a 2-dimensional CAD product first, and only then create a 3-dimensional version. The team re-designed AutoCAD to be a 2-dimensional CAD package. In their words, "Since Autodesk was interested in 2-dimensional, that was all we should be working on." They also had to re-write all of the code, most of which they had written in what they described as "Juliet on steroids".
AutoCAD (version 1)
Developed and marketed by Autodesk, AutoCAD is a commercial CAD application. AutoCAD is available as desktop, mobile, web and 3D apps.
Autodesk AutoCAD allows the user to work with a 2D or 3D environment. In the 2D environment, users can draw and edit freehand and objects can be projected, measured and placed. 3D environments support the entire flow of 2D geometric data through the 3D environment. As such, it has 2D data capture capabilities as well as 3D modeling.
Release History
AutoCAD was originally only available on minicomputers, but in 1990 it was introduced to the IBM

Scripting 
AutoCAD Crack For Windows's scripting language is based on the Visual LISP language, and is referred to as AutoLISP (AutoCAD Language for Scripting). The language is heavily integrated with AutoCAD and is used for custom applications, including macros and add-on applications. AutoLISP is based on Visual LISP. Visual LISP provides a simple object-oriented programming model and is more similar to a high-level scripting language such as JavaScript. AutoLISP has been available with AutoCAD since 1992.
Applications built with AutoLISP can use native functions from AutoCAD or a series of other AutoLISP applications. The object-oriented nature of AutoLISP allows the creation of flexible and reusable libraries, which can be used in subsequent AutoLISP applications. These libraries can make it possible to write complex applications without having to re-implement the algorithms. The ability to reuse code is one of the major advantages of AutoLISP over other scripting languages. Since AutoLISP code can be shared, it is often written by experts in a particular field and is available for others to use, contributing to the development of the large range of AutoCAD applications available.
AutoCAD also supports the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language.
AutoCAD VBA is based on Visual Basic (VB). VBA is used for automation of large volumes of data in applications such as spreadsheets. It can be used to generate AutoCAD macros. AutoCAD VBA shares many features with other VBA languages, such as Excel VBA, Visual Studio VBA, and the Visio Macro Language.
VBA is available in all AutoCAD versions since AutoCAD 2004, and is also used by other applications, including Microsoft Office applications and the Microsoft Office Add-ins product.
AutoCAD has various tools to aid the development of VBA applications, including the Visual Basic Editor, which is a Visual Studio application. Another tool, Visual Basic for Applications Script Tool (VAST), is a Visual Studio Express 2012 plugin that can be used to edit and debug VBA scripts.
ObjectARX 
ObjectARX is a C++ class library that provides a highly portable framework for representing application-level data and functions in an application.
ObjectARX was the basis for Autodesk Exchange Apps, released on AutoCAD for Windows
