AutoCAD Crack +
History 
AutoCAD originally launched in December 1982 as a desktop graphics program and was initially marketed as a professional-level CAD tool. Later, the software was extended to work with 2D and 3D drawings, and used to model buildings and other large structures, and then continue to refine the design. AutoCAD LT was introduced in May 1986 to provide a lower-cost alternative. In 1996, the first version of AutoCAD was available as a Windows 95 operating system (OS) application. In 1999, AutoCAD's Data Bridge technology was released, which allowed users to import and export data files, including 2D, 3D, and 3D DWG files. In 2004, AutoCAD was upgraded to support Windows XP; in 2008, AutoCAD 2009 introduced DWG support, and in 2010, a new 3D technology, called Revit, was introduced. In 2014, AutoCAD LT 2017 was introduced, along with cloud-based software and improved features.
AutoCAD has been extended to work with features such as Microsoft Office 2010 and Windows Server 2012, and Cloud-based AutoCAD is used with 2D and 3D PDF, DWF and DWFx files. In 2016, a new 3D feature, AutoCAD DWF 360, which supports file sizes as large as 4TB, was released.
On May 12, 2018, Autodesk acquired the Living Planning and Building Information Consortium, a consortium that also includes the building information modeling (BIM) software applications.
Subscription and perpetual license versions 
Subscription and perpetual license versions of AutoCAD come in two versions: AutoCAD Standard, and AutoCAD LT.
AutoCAD 
AutoCAD Standard for Windows is sold on a subscription or perpetual license basis. In the perpetual license version, one version is installed on a single computer. The license allows the user to install multiple AutoCAD installations (version) on separate computers as long as the installations are on separate drives or partitions. AutoCAD Standard works on personal computers that run Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, or 10. AutoCAD Standard is compatible with Microsoft Windows OS 64 bit, but 32-bit Windows operating systems will not function properly with AutoCAD. AutoCAD does not run on Mac computers. AutoCAD also does not run on mobile devices.
AutoCAD LT

VBA or Visual Basic for Applications, which is essentially a Microsoft Windows-compatible Macro language, to facilitate direct interaction with AutoCAD Free Download. VBA has been used to build a number of add-ons including features for commercial AutoCAD users. A number of third-party companies have created VBA add-ons for many areas of AutoCAD, such as landscaping, welding, fire, drafting, text, CAD modelling, etc. VBA supports many API functions that are normally only available to AutoCAD users, such as AppInstance, DatabaseQuery, Debug, DLLInject, etc. On Mac OS X, AutoCAD is integrated into the operating system; this means that all AutoCAD functions are simply run in a context provided by the operating system, not in a separate window. On Linux (and other OS), one could install a Linux AutoCAD package (AutoCAD 2009 Linux edition, AutoCAD 2010 Linux edition, AutoCAD LT 2010 Linux edition, AutoCAD Architecture 2011 for Linux), which include basic functions and a Runtime Environment.
 Access to AutoCAD features is available to users of other CAD software through Inter-CAD, an interoperability platform, and their own application programming interfaces (APIs). Inter-CAD is an API that connects AutoCAD to other CAD applications.
File formats
 AutoCAD supports three file formats for editing 2D geometry. The first is the native DWG format, which is currently used for all AutoCAD features. The DWG file format was developed by Autodesk in 1989 and used for the AutoCAD AutoDraft tool, which was developed in 1990. Autodesk has the most experience with DWG files and has developed numerous applications to work with them.
 Autodesk's native drawing format, a computer file format for the storing of two-dimensional geometric drawings used by AutoCAD. It is also the native drawing format of the AutoCAD DWG and DXF importer/exporter, the AutoCAD Macro Library, the popular Architectural Desktop product and some other applications.
 A 2D PDF drawing, used for rendering of the documents to electronic (and other) devices. It is also a 2D file format that holds geometry data. An export of a DWG file is considered the same as an export of a PDF, however, only the DWG files have the ability to have printing capabilities and to be opened in AutoCAD on multiple platforms.
