AutoCAD 23.0 With License Key [32|64bit]
Autodesk, Inc., is a publicly traded corporation, based in San Rafael, California, that creates the design software used by architects, engineers and builders, including AutoCAD, Inventor, Autodesk 3ds Max, Revit, and AutoCAD LT. Its tools cover architecture, construction, interior design, and manufacturing.
A revolution in CAD
AutoCAD is a change from the traditional method of drawing with pencil, paper, or other drawing instruments on paper, to drawing on the computer screen, with the purpose of sharing the graphic design in the digital age. In early 1982, Autodesk’s project manager Bill Steinman “wanted to know how far we could go in making the computer a better drafting tool.” AutoCAD was developed to enable engineers and architects to "work with their existing drafting skills and their current method of design", Steinman said in a 2019 interview with Navigant Research. AutoCAD is a registered trademark of Autodesk, Inc.
The first versions of AutoCAD were graphic tools integrated into the precursor to Windows 3.1, the Multimedia Format of Windows 3.0. The software could draw straight lines and circles, and then check the path against a reference line. A concurrent development of a Windows 3.0 version of the plotter driver that was essential for interacting with plotters, enabled a larger number of applications to be connected. One of the earliest applications of AutoCAD was the installation of an architectural campus for the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 1982. The new software, developed by GPI Design Technology, Inc., of Menlo Park, California, would facilitate the creation of a floor-plan model and reduce the number of plotters needed for the project.
Although the original AutoCAD was developed on a Digital Equipment Corporation minicomputer running the MUMPS programming language, the first software release for Apple computers was in 1984.
History
1982 to 1987: The beginning of the success story
Bill Steinman conceived of AutoCAD as part of the Structural Information Management System (SIMS) at the University of California, Santa Cruz. When Steinman left the Santa Cruz campus to join Autodesk, Steinman proposed to Steve Jobs that AutoCAD would be an ideal application for the Macintosh, to which Jobs replied: "You gotta be shittin' me". However, the Macintosh was released in January 1984, and

Productivity tools 
AutoCAD Crack For Windows includes a number of tools designed to streamline the design process. For example, the CAM Viewer and the Swipe tool allow rapid creation of a 2D- or 3D drawing of an assembly and extraction of component views. Similarly, the Profiler tool allows a user to get the characteristics of a design in a manner similar to a profiler for computer code, and the Styles Manager enables the creation of AutoCAD styles with a visual interface.
 Other 
Autodesk introduced and productized the notion of a 2D sketch in its drafting applications. A 2D sketch is a drawing that is two-dimensional but may be annotated with notes, dimensions, lines, and shapes. It can be drawn directly on a model or on paper and then imported into the design environment.  2D sketches are intended to be used for non-production purposes, although most users rarely use them.
Another new concept to AutoCAD is the Radial Feature Editor. This feature is designed to allow non-skilled users to create three dimensional drawings or two dimensional views from existing 3D models.  The Radial Feature Editor allows the creation of AutoCAD drawings that can be used to create orthogonal views of an object in CAD packages such as Microstation. The Radial Feature Editor allows users to "link" features from their model. This feature allows users to edit, modify, or remove features without having to rebuild the model from scratch. The Radial Feature Editor also allows for different views of the object. This feature is found in AutoCAD's 2018 release.
AutoCAD includes a variety of freebies and free trials. For example, CADMaker, a free AutoCAD plugin, is available for download at no cost. There are also several free trials of AutoCAD's subscription-based software, such as the AutoCAD Basics-PLUS trial that is offered to both home and business users.
Windows programs 
In the 1980s, Autodesk Software was spun off as a separate company with the name Autodesk, Inc., which became an NASDAQ-listed corporation in 1999. The company continues to produce AutoCAD, Map3D, AutoCAD LT, AutoCAD Architecture, and AutoCAD Mechanical as well as offshoots for other application areas such as AutoCAD Electrical.
AutoCAD is also available for other platforms, such as:
 Linux
 Apple macOS
