AutoCAD Crack + Product Key Full PC/Windows
AutoCAD, released in 1984, was the first non-graphical drafting program to successfully combine a sophisticated computer-aided design capability with a truly user-friendly interface. AutoCAD's design elements, features, and software architecture were also among the first to facilitate the proliferation of this type of software into other industries.
While it was originally marketed as a 2-D drafting and design program, AutoCAD has evolved into a computer-aided engineering (CAE) program, with its core functionality enhanced to handle 3-D modeling, simulation, and production-ready 2-D drawing capabilities.
AutoCAD is recognized by Gartner, Inc., as the most widely used 2-D drafting and design program. Many newspapers and magazines have ranked AutoCAD as the most popular software application for both home users and professionals. For example, ComputerWorld magazine named AutoCAD as its top overall software application of 2011.
In 2016, AutoCAD won a Special Achievement in Computer-Human Interaction Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in the Computer-Human Interaction - Software (CHI) category.
What is AutoCAD?
AutoCAD is a software application that enables designers and engineers to create, view, and edit 2-D and 3-D drawings. Once you've created a drawing in AutoCAD, you can "freeze" or lock the drawing, allowing you to make changes to the document or export it as a file to other applications. You can design in 2-D or 3-D using blocks, which are elements of a drawing, or you can add dimensions, text, and shapes.
In addition to being a CAD application, AutoCAD can also perform engineering-related calculations, including geometric modeling, and it can also create and print engineering-related parts and bills of material. For these tasks, AutoCAD requires a computer running Windows, and the user needs to be skilled in the use of a computer mouse or trackball. You'll also need to know how to use the mouse to select and move objects.
AutoCAD's commands for drawing objects are user-friendly, as they can be found on the command bar by pressing the mouse's "down" button. The drawing canvas appears on the computer screen, and you can work on the drawing using the standard mouse controls. In addition to these common drawing commands, AutoCAD

Features 
While this has not changed over time, AutoCAD Cracked 2022 Latest Version has since the release of AutoCAD Free Download R2012, allowed splitting the various "programs" from the "model" or "project". This allows different "programs" to run simultaneously, allowing users to perform multiple "tasks" at once.
In addition, there are some functions that are not available with other applications, such as the ability to easily draw curves in the 2D and 3D coordinate systems. It can also display the drawing space more clearly, by splitting the drawing into layers for the right-click menus. Some additional functions of AutoCAD Crack For Windows are:
 3D editing 
With AutoCAD Free Download 2009 release, it is possible to draw 3D objects and use them in the same drawing.
With AutoCAD Activation Code 2009, it is also possible to use wireframe and solid modeling tools to create 2D representations of 3D objects.
3D editing tools include:
 Spline tool
 Mesh tool
 Mirror tool
 Displacement tool
 Geometry tool
 Extrude tool
 Rake tool
 Boolean tool
 Tweak tool
Additional 3D editing features include tools to make 3D models from 2D drawings and tools to convert geometry between 2D and 3D spaces.
3D editing allows you to create 3D objects such as planes, cylinders and spheres, cut them with the Spline, Mesh and Geometry tools, and link them with joints and constraints.
3D objects can be viewed from either the two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) space, and can be edited in 2D and 3D, as well as overlaid with other 2D and 3D objects.
The 3D space can be viewed on a flat plane and objects can be visualized using rendered or wireframe rendering methods.
Other 3D operations include converting between the different coordinate systems and exporting 3D objects to other 3D file formats.
2D editing 
With AutoCAD Cracked Version 2009, the AutoCAD Crack Keygen 2D layout tools include the ability to draw 2D objects (butterfly, line, and arc) by selecting the tools from a pull-down menu. The 2D edit tools include the ability to draw using points, straight lines and arcs. The 2D edit tools also include the ability to select, cut, and move drawing objects. The tools are:
