AutoCAD Crack (Updated 2022)
Download a trial version of AutoCAD from Autodesk.
AutoCAD is a digital drafting and design tool used to create 2D and 3D CAD models. The AutoCAD software can be used to create 2D models such as orthographic, isometric, and perspective views, as well as technical drawings.
AutoCAD is the most widely used of the Autodesk CAD products; the company claims that over six billion sheets of CAD drawings are created and over three billion hours of instruction are provided annually by AutoCAD.
Product Overview
AutoCAD is a comprehensive CAD program for the desktop and mobile devices, including tablets, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone devices.
It has multiple modules which cater to the needs of different types of users and is available as stand-alone or as part of an integrated software ecosystem.
AutoCAD has a comprehensive help system. When you launch the program for the first time, you will be given detailed information on how to use the various programs. The documentation is comprehensive and there is a decent amount of detailed information on how to use AutoCAD.
The main features of AutoCAD include a drawing/modeling workspace for creating 2D drawings and plans, 3D modeling, technical drawing, 2D drafting, and sectioning.
3D Modeling
The 3D modeling feature allows the user to import models from a range of file formats including Autodesk Virtual Prototypes and 3ds Max, and export in the VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) format.
3D modeling is fairly comprehensive with a range of options to create and manipulate 3D models. The drawing area has the option to switch to wireframe or solid wireframe view, solid view, 3D/2D view toggle, face or line drawing, and plan view. These options are saved between drawings and provide an easy way to switch between views.
Modeling
AutoCAD has a range of modeling tools including polygonal modeling, splines, and surface modeling tools.
Splines are used to create a range of smooth curves with a single control point, and are useful for modeling objects with curved surfaces. Spline tools include the Spline Move, Control Spline, Spline Vertex, and Spline Fit.
Polygonal modeling lets the user create polygonal meshes that can be filled with color, and models can be saved in the

History
AutoCAD was originally created by Carl Basset as CAD-DYNC, and was offered as an add-on to Lotus 123 for the IBM PC in 1989. It was initially available for DOS and later Windows. CAD-DYNC was later renamed AutoCAD (for Autocad Draughting for Dummies), and was the first version of AutoCAD to be multi-user, and included the DWG-format drawing file. AutoCAD was originally based on the A++ ObjectARX API, which is a C++ class library, but is now based on the.NET framework.
The first version of AutoCAD to support DWG was Autocad 1989. In 1993, the first version to support the Windows API, Autocad 1993, was released. Autocad X and Autocad XE were released in 1995 as a graphical object-based view of AutoCAD, and version 8.0, Autocad 2000, introduced 2D and 3D views. Autocad XE2 and Autocad 2000 Lite were released as Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 versions. Autocad 2003 was released as an update for Autocad XE2, and introduced the ability to view drawings using 3D scenes, track-paths, tight lines, surfaces, surfaces, polylines, and 3D views. A second generation of Autocad, called Autocad 2007, was released in 2005 and was based on 2D and 3D views. In 2006, Autocad 2008 was released as a further update to Autocad 2007. In 2007, AutoCAD 2009 was released to much fanfare as a major new release of the software and was available in 32-bit and 64-bit editions. Autocad 2010 was released in 2009, with many new features and features that were previously only available in AutoCAD LT. The previous versions were available for download for 90 days from the Autodesk website.
AutoCAD 2010 was the first version to support 64-bit computing. In 2011, Autocad 2012 was released. In 2012, Autocad 2013 was released, and in 2013 Autocad 2014 was released. In 2014, Autocad 2015 was released. Autocad 2016 was released in April 2016, with many new features and new command names. Autocad 2017 was released in July 2017, with new features and several improvements to the interface. In 2018, Autocad
