AutoCAD Crack+ Keygen Full Version For PC
History
AutoCAD was created by a team of employees at Autodesk in 1982. The original name of the program was AutoCAD for Small and Medium Businesses. The name was changed in 1982 to AutoCAD (for Business and Professionals). The program was initially developed to address the needs of small and medium-sized companies. To meet those needs, AutoCAD was originally available only as a desktop app for DOS and a Windows version was later available. The DOS version was actually written by a team of employees at Autodesk that were employed by a major software company.
AutoCAD for Small and Medium Businesses was quickly recognized as a major competitor to the smaller, but more expensive, CAD packages of the day, such as MicroStation and DataMill. After two years of development, the name was changed to AutoCAD in 1985. In 1993 the name AutoCAD for Small and Medium Businesses was added.
In 1991 Autodesk developed AutoCAD LT, a simplified version of AutoCAD for small businesses. AutoCAD LT was also initially only available as a DOS app, but was later converted to Windows and is now available as a desktop and mobile app.
In 1998 the name of the program was changed to AutoCAD. The 2003 release was renamed AutoCAD R14. AutoCAD LT was also renamed to AutoCAD LT.
On August 27, 2015, Autodesk unveiled AutoCAD LT 2013, a new simplified version of AutoCAD LT for smaller businesses and personal users.
Functionality
AutoCAD is a 2D computer-aided design (CAD) software application that enables users to draw 2D drawings, sections, and 3D solid models. It is also able to generate engineering, architectural, mechanical, electrical and geotechnical designs. This includes the ability to draw and edit drawings, sections, and 3D models for use in:
AutoCAD LT, introduced in 1991, is a simplified version of AutoCAD LT for smaller businesses and personal users.
AutoCAD is used by engineers, architects, designers, mechanical, structural, civil, land surveying, and geotechnical engineers. AutoCAD also runs on mobile devices, including Apple iPads, Android devices, and Windows Mobile devices.
Another key function of AutoCAD is the ability to import data from other applications (such as databases and other modeling programs).
