AutoCAD Crack+ Free Download
In AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, the term "design" refers to the entire process of designing a 3D structure, which includes planning and estimating the entire design. While the term "drafting" refers to one of the steps in the process of designing, and includes specifying and optimizing the design for fabrication or printing. For this reason, CAD software is often categorized into "CAD," which includes drafting, and "CAE," which includes design. In some cases "CAD" refers specifically to design, and "CAE" refers specifically to engineering.
What Is AutoCAD?
AutoCAD is a computer-aided design and drafting application that runs on Windows and macOS computers. Like the drafting software offered by other software companies (such as CADWorx, GlueCAD, CorelDRAW and SolidWorks), AutoCAD is a software suite designed to simulate the drafting process. A user can open an AutoCAD drawing, adjust various parameters, view the result and save the file. In most cases, users can also save the drawing to an XMI, X3D or PDF format file.
AutoCAD's predecessor was AutoLISP, which was first released in 1985. Today, AutoCAD software is available for many types of computing devices, including Windows desktop computers, Windows tablets and smartphones, macOS computers, Windows 10 PCs and the Google Cloud Platform. AutoCAD LT is a simpler version of AutoCAD for smaller businesses.
AutoCAD Features
AutoCAD is a highly customizable application, allowing users to customize many aspects of the application's appearance and behavior to suit their individual preferences. For example, users can custom-build "contextual user interfaces" in the form of drag-and-drop menus, buttons, check boxes, and so on, that appear above the model window. The menus can be moved, resized and added or removed at any time to fit your particular needs.
AutoCAD's interface can be customized to any extent using its built-in command language, named Lisp. One of the unique features of AutoCAD is the way that it allows the user to set multiple window views at the same time. This allows the user to have one view for viewing only the current drawing, while a second view can be set for viewing only the layers of the drawing, while a third view can be set for viewing only the drawing contents.

Communications 
Communication between AutoCAD Crack Keygen and AutoCAD Cracked Version LT is accomplished through commands, data exchanges and AutoLISP functions.  AutoLISP also includes functions for communication with Web browsers and other AutoCAD-compatible programs.
AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT and all AutoCAD-based applications have the ability to send AutoCAD-compatible drawings to  and from other AutoCAD users.  The DXF format is supported.  DXF files can be easily exported to a variety of file formats.  This includes.DWG,.SHP,.NET, Microsoft Excel, Lotus123, PDS, pdf and SVG.  If necessary, layer information can be preserved with the DXF export.  For instance, if a line has been adjusted on one layer, it can be exported to a DXF file with the same line number on a different layer.  This allows the designer to easily get the drawing they want and arrange them in their layout.
In previous versions, AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT use an older communications protocol known as EDI (eXchange of Data Information) which was developed by the American Society for Automation.
AutoCAD provides a client-server architecture that uses a web browser to access and run AutoCAD-based applications.
Mobile Applications
AutoCAD App Platform is the AutoCAD App Cloud application-development platform, a Java-based technology that enables the rapid and easy development of applications on a host of computing devices, including tablets and smartphones. The AutoCAD App Cloud platform is supported by the AutoCAD LT and AutoCAD WS web services.
Windows Runtime (WinRT)
AutoCAD LT (with AutoCAD 2013) is a WinRT application that runs on Windows 8 and 8.1, and Windows 10.
AutoCAD WS (with AutoCAD 2012) is a Windows Store application that runs on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, and Windows 10.
AutoCAD LT also runs on the mobile operating systems of Windows Phone 8.1, Windows Phone 8, Windows Phone 10, Windows, macOS, and iOS.
