AutoCAD Crack + Free
The AutoCAD Serial Key line of desktop software was originally marketed for 2D drafting and technical illustration, and has since grown into a comprehensive tool for creating and editing 2D drawings, 3D models, and technical documentation. AutoCAD can import and export DWG, DXF, DWF, DGN, IGES, and STEP files, and it supports several modern 3D file formats. AutoCAD can also convert two-dimensional images into 3D, and reverse this operation to create 2D drawings from 3D models. The software supports a wide range of 2D and 3D drawing tools.
AutoCAD enables users to control the appearance and behavior of 3D objects, and to apply styles to these objects. Styles can be changed at any time, and multiple styles can be applied to a single object. After a style is applied, it can be modified and saved by the user. The user can also apply named properties to objects and set up these properties to apply to multiple objects. The user can define the material of an object, apply textures and lighting to an object, and define the color of the fill and line of an object.
AutoCAD is built around a modeling feature called Drafting Area. A Drafting Area is an area on a viewport, typically a drawing window, that displays the 3D model being created, along with some tools and icons, in 2D on the viewport. When a user drags a tool into the Drafting Area and selects a model, the software creates a profile of that model, or shape, based on that tool, and that profile is displayed on the drawing window as a line.
When the profile is complete, the user can further shape the profile by manipulating the Drafting Area. A line is added, a corner is rounded, and the profile is modified. It is very easy to modify an existing line by dragging a corner, so that the profile is further modified. The user can create new profiles, use Boolean operations to combine two or more profiles into a new profile, and change the color and line style of the profile.
An important innovation in AutoCAD is the ability to convert any profile into a path, which is a series of 2D lines that can be moved around a drawing. The user can then copy and paste paths, convert them to other shapes, and edit them. The user can then export the path, either as a DXF or DWF file, or as a
