AutoCAD Crack + Activation Key Free Download
AutoCAD’s basic purpose is to create and modify 2D drawings. AutoCAD’s capability expanded to create 3D drawing files in 1998. Its initial design ability was crude; a crude user interface, a lack of built-in layer information, and no image-editing functions. In addition to basic drafting and drawing tools, AutoCAD offers advanced functions like dimensioning, architectural design, and feature-based modeling. AutoCAD version 2014 introduced a 2.5D drafting feature, whereby a 2D drawing file is displayed in 3D so that it can be viewed and manipulated from any angle.
With the latest version of AutoCAD (AutoCAD 2014) and beyond, Autodesk has enhanced the applications’ processing power and has made substantial changes to its user interface. The interface has been completely redesigned to make it easier to work with AutoCAD files. The 2014 release also includes many new features, including the ability to draw in perspective.
When you want to create, modify, or save a drawing, the first thing you do in AutoCAD is to create a drawing. The drawing is stored in a drawing file. There are several types of drawing files:
• Layout drawings (not possible to save in.dwg format)
• Drawing files in.dwg format (the most popular type)
• Drawing files in.dwgx format (for AutoLISP and AutoTEST programming)
• Diagram files (in.dwg format)
• Plan drawing files (a.dwg extension is not required)
• Orthographic drawing files (Windows only)
You can view a drawing by opening it. When you open a drawing, the drawing’s layers become visible, and you can select a layer, change its color, and place the active viewport. You can also place the active viewport on any portion of the drawing. You can view any drawing file in a number of ways:
• The default view
• View the drawing in the active viewport
• Choose a different view
• Save the drawing
In the view you select, you can click to place the active viewport on any part of the drawing. You can pan and zoom to see the drawing as you need it. You can draw to the drawing area in any of the standard AutoCAD drawing

Fusion
The name "Fusion" was an initialism referring to a combined word for "Future". The name reflected Autodesk's thinking about the potential of the future Autodesk Authorware and X-Ray by the company's FusionWare division.
A beta version was released for Windows on November 17, 2003, featuring 2D and 3D. It was released on March 15, 2004 with commercial support. It was the first 3D product built in Autodesk's authorware API and released with industry-standard 3D graphics. Version 2.5 of the API was added and released in the summer of 2005.
A version for OS X was released in October 2004. A version for Linux was released in June 2005. A version for Windows Vista was released in November 2005.
The first version to have support for both 2D and 3D was Fusion 360. The first version to have a Web application (Fusion 360 Studio) was 2008, but this was taken offline in 2010.
Fusion 360 has many industry-standard 3D features including camera tracking, mirroring, surface orientation, clipping planes, mesh, animation, displacement mapping, shell/solid handling, volume rendering, texture mapping, material/mesh baking, auto-placement, native workbench and ray tracing.
Fusion 360 Studio is available as a free (non-commercial) and non-subscription (registration) add-on, or an upgrade to Fusion 360. It allows for the creation of 2D and 3D models, as well as review and editing, and the ability to save, publish, share, and print them.
Visual scripting 
In addition to software applications that allow for automated creation of content, Autodesk also provides support for the Extensible Application Markup Language (xAPI) and Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Autodesk's Authorware API allows for building XML-based interfaces for defining the parameters of AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT drawing. It is available in a number of different programming languages: AutoLISP, Visual LISP, VBA,.NET, Java, and ObjectARX. Visual LISP, Visual Basic, and Visual C# are supported for development in
