Here are the top 5 Free Cracked AutoCAD With Keygen Alternatives as voted by our experts.
Starting with the one we think was the most frequently mentioned, Autodesk's AutoCAD has its detractors. The list contains a number of graphics programs with similar functionality, and we were only able to include programs that run on Windows operating systems. For those of you who aren't keen on AutoCAD, you may be interested in some of the other free CAD software available.
This is a summary of the top 5 AutoCAD alternatives, along with the explanations for why it made the cut.
1. VectorWorks
VectorWorks is a powerful CAD and drafting application that is widely considered to be a leading industrial and architectural 2D CAD software application. The program offers a large range of advanced functionality for industrial design, architecture and construction, engineering, drafting, and ancillary information. There are also tools for collaboration and the creation of documentation. VectorWorks is supplied as a standalone package, or as a service of the VectorWorks Manufacturing Suite.
VectorWorks was originally developed by Autodesk and Micrografx. In 1996, VECTORWORKS was acquired by Autodesk, and Autodesk has continued to develop and market the software since then.
VectorWorks features include tools for parametric modeling, parametric drawing, multi-view modeling, surface modeling, contour editing, NURBS curves, surface creation, surface editing, along with a 2D and 3D graphing functionality. There are also modules for work breakdown, job scheduling, and project budgeting.
Best of all, the application is highly customizable. There are more than 2,000 3rd-party plugins available, which can extend the functionality of the program even further. The only downside to VectorWorks is that it is a standalone application and not a web application.
VectorWorks is available in two main editions: Home Edition and Professional Edition. The program is compatible with the Windows operating system, and it is available as a 32-bit and 64-bit version.
2. i-CAT
i-CAT is another powerful CAD software application from Autodesk, and is available in two main editions: Standard Edition and Commercial Edition. Autodesk i-CAT is focused on engineering and architectural drawing, while the Commercial Edition also supports visualization and simulation

History
AutoCAD Crack For Windows was first introduced in 1985, and was initially created by Brunner Constructors. The first version of AutoCAD Crack Mac was compatible with the Apple Macintosh and IBM PC, with limited support for the Apple II.
Microsoft acquired AutoCAD in April 1999, and subsequently launched AutoCAD V2011, the first version of AutoCAD to support Windows 95 and Windows NT. In 2005, Microsoft introduced a new product called AutoCAD LT to take advantage of the ability to run on Windows 98 computers. This system was also free of licensing fees, and because it used a different software development kit than the AutoCAD System of Tools (SOT), many users preferred it to AutoCAD. As a result, in January 2007, Microsoft abandoned support for AutoCAD LT and AutoCAD LT 2010 (the most recent version) and renamed it AutoCAD Classic. AutoCAD Classic remains available for Windows and Mac as a Classic, Professional, or Enterprise edition.
In February 2007, AutoCAD 2010 was released, which was an upgrade to AutoCAD LT. With the release of AutoCAD 2010, AutoCAD also became available for purchase on Mac OS X. It was followed by AutoCAD LT 2010 in May 2007.
In July 2009, AutoCAD became available for purchase for iOS users running iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, using Apple's iPad application programming interface (API), known as OpenGL ES.
Upgrading from AutoCAD LT or 2010 to 2011 required a user to purchase a new license, as the two versions were discontinued by Microsoft in 2007.
AutoCAD 2013 was released in September 2012. The release of AutoCAD 2013 included many new features, including:
 A new 2D and 3D toolbox
 New preview display
 Support for the Google Street View API
 A user-configurable keyboard shortcut system
 New dimension button, which allows users to create 3D objects that can be inserted in the paper space of a 2D drawing
 Revamped search feature
 Enhancements to the Part view and also the changes to the "Model in Paper Space" command
 Revamped AutoCAD User Interface (UI)
 New visual styles, including Modern Flat, and New Chalk.
