A few weeks after its initial release, the first products for the Apple II emerged, among them Tufa, the first native computer graphics application for the II series, and VisiCalc, which could run on the Apple II, the Atari 800 and the Tandy CoCo. By 1983 Tufa was the industry leader in both consumer and business graphics applications for the Apple II. However, this year was an important turning point for the computer industry. By 1983 many people had access to affordable home computers, which made software more important than ever, and with the development of the Microsoft DOS, the Apple II was no longer the industry leader.
Autodesk's first commercial release for the Apple II was provided as shareware, although the company's business model was not yet clear. The second major software product from Autodesk for the Apple II was AutoCAD, the industry's first application that ran on a microcomputer, and, at the time, was one of the first computer graphics programs.
In its early years, AutoCAD was used mainly by engineers and architects for architectural and engineering design. Its main disadvantage was its limitations. Users could not draw freehand, instead needing to follow detailed guidelines provided by the software. For example, if a user wanted to design a building, the software would first have to draw a blueprint of a corner of the building, then design an adjoining wall, then draw windows and doors and so on. It was tedious to use, and engineers who used it typically could complete only small projects. But by 1984, the introduction of AutoCAD LT (low-cost version of AutoCAD, which did not require a separate graphics board), and the arrival of the Apple II on the desktop, AutoCAD became more widely used, and it also saw an increase in interest from the general public.
AutoCAD was popular for a time, but then some of the features that made it a popular product were replaced or improved upon. AutoCAD was gradually replaced by the new CAD programs produced by other companies such as NCAD and AutoCad LT, which were only available for the Apple II platform.
The Macintosh computer was introduced by Apple Inc. in 1984. Although the market of AutoCAD users rapidly disappeared, AutoCAD continued to be developed. In 1995, the first AutoCAD software for Macintosh was released, followed by Linux in 1996.

Programming 
AutoCAD Torrent Download has an extensive API (application programming interface), which is similar in concept to that of Java, a computer programming language, with which it shares some of the same syntax and operations. The API enables software to be developed for AutoCAD, to interface to it, and to control AutoCAD functions. AutoCAD also has a.NET API that allows developers to build.NET applications using a toolkit that wraps the functions of the AutoCAD application. AutoCAD can also be integrated with other applications, usually through the XML serialization.
A new programming language named ObjectARX was also announced in February 2013. ObjectARX is the result of an AutoCAD team from Autodesk, at Autodesk University. ObjectARX is a ‘real’ C++ language that allows developers to write complete applications in C++ to access AutoCAD, through a language that was designed to resemble the C++ language syntax. AutoCAD 2011 features an ObjectARX Viewer, allowing anyone to try the new language. ObjectARX became publicly available on December 15, 2013.
In 2010, Autodesk began to offer its CAD software, including AutoCAD, to users of the iPad and iPhone in the form of iPad CAD, AutoCAD apps for the iPad and iPhone.
AutoCAD's DXF (drawing exchange format) allows importing and exporting drawing information.
Criticism 
AutoCAD is not without critics. One of AutoCAD's most vocal critics was Roy L. Laberge, who went on to become one of the first employees of Corus CAD, a joint venture between the Corus corporation and Alcan to create a new 3D-design, engineering and manufacturing software company.
The criticism of AutoCAD mostly arises from the fact that a previous owner of AutoCAD released it as shareware. A shareware product provides a license for use, but there is no monetary reimbursement and the software is provided with the restriction that it may only be used for a certain period of time. The Shareware movement was a marketing approach used by developers to make software cheaper for the consumer.
One of the criticisms of AutoCAD was its use of the proprietary copyright symbol, ©, rather than a standard copyright symbol. It was a source of some consternation to other CAD users, especially those using engineering CAD software. The symbol is an attempt to protect AutoCAD
