Key features and functions
AutoCAD contains various features which are useful for designing buildings, such as being able to draw doors, windows, and walls in various styles and materials such as aluminum, brick, concrete, glass, stucco, and wood. It also has features for architectural design, 3D modeling, and a feature for detailing design. AutoCAD has many specific features which are used to create specific designs, including a grid, an ortho view, and tag tools such as the text tool. It also includes more general features that are used in any drafting project, including the freehand tool, the drop tool, and the mirror tool. AutoCAD can handle the design of more than just buildings. It can also be used to design a wide variety of mechanical equipment, boats, and machinery.
Designing using AutoCAD
Unlike many CAD programs, AutoCAD allows users to work with drawings and blocks, which may be layers on top of each other. Users can also merge blocks and layers to make a new set of layers, creating 3D models. It is possible to add and change text, dimensions, and other features on a drawing, which can then be saved for reuse. In the example below, objects were created in three stages. The line drawing above is a single layer, and the drawing below has three layers.
The AutoCAD drawing above has been split down the middle, with the two halves stacked on top of each other. Each half is a single layer. A white layer, a red layer, and a blue layer have been added to the drawing by selecting the objects in the layer list and double clicking to place them on the layer.
The drawing below was created with four separate layers, with the lower two layers hidden and the upper two layers visible.
To create a new layer, double click on the layer you want to add to the drawing, then double click on the icon to add the layer.
Drawing a new layer
To delete a layer, select the layer in the layer list and right click to delete it

Data exchange formats 
AutoCAD and other products from Autodesk exchange data and files through the DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) standard, which is based on ASCII-based text and on the DGN (Drawing) format.
The drawings in AutoCAD are stored in a database which can be extended through plugins, and which is accessible through scripting (FASTScript). FASTScript is a domain specific language that is usable for all applications from AutoCAD. The scripts are stored in FASTScript files which can be read into AutoCAD and then stored in the database. The user may also design and edit a script and write a FASTScript file to be used by AutoCAD. FASTScript allows creating templates for all common tasks.
User-defined variables can be used in FASTScript and can be saved for further use in other scripts.
 Multi-layer publishing and rendering 
Starting with AutoCAD 2012, the interface is multi-layered, and can be designed with the help of advanced GUI tools such as smart rulers, hot-spots, ribbon bars, etc. The menus of all these interface parts are stored on the right-side of the interface; most of the tools are accessed through a context-sensitive dropdown menu, just by clicking on a corresponding icon, or by choosing a function from the menu displayed in the ribbon bar. For example, the top right menu of the graphics window has commands to adjust the color of the lines in the graphics window.
 MELP 
AutoCAD uses the MELP language. AutoCAD has a MELP API, which can be used to create macros and automate certain tasks in AutoCAD. When creating a macro, the user can use variables to reference the objects or to show dialog boxes. MELP provides visual programming in 3D, and allows the creation of parametric functions, and it is possible to use different programming languages. AutoCAD 2010 introduced the Visual LISP programming language.
 SCA 
AutoCAD supports the Structured CAD Application (.sca) language, which is used to describe drawing entities and their relationships to other drawing entities.
 Sketching tools 
AutoCAD 2016 and later versions have a 2D drawing toolkit including the pen, lines, rectangles, and circles (for drafting). The pen tool is used for creating freehand lines, while the freehand tool is used for creating
