AutoCAD Crack + With Key Free Download [Mac/Win]
Today, AutoCAD has several versions available. There are two main versions: AutoCAD Architecture, a "household" version of AutoCAD, and AutoCAD LT. AutoCAD LT is a version of AutoCAD designed for the entry-level CAD market. Architecture is for hobbyists, freelancers, architectural offices, and CAD departments. LT is for students and freelancers, who prefer the "cleaner" look and less cluttered interface of LT.
Once installed, AutoCAD LT is automatically licensed to anyone using the software. Architecture requires manual licensing.
Because LT is available for free, it is generally used by students to learn AutoCAD before working on projects. LT is also the software of choice for many CAD beginners. Architecturally licensed students often install AutoCAD architecture and then switch to LT to learn the basics of the software.
Why AutoCAD architecture?
LT is still not ready for the real world, but AutoCAD LT is very stable and many people (including me) have been using it for years. It is stable and trustworthy. When you use the features of LT, you get the benefit of the experience of using AutoCAD LT, but with a small memory footprint. This makes LT suitable for local network computing in a company.
To learn the real AutoCAD, however, you need to install the full architecture. Architecture has a lot of features, and you can get lost in too many different menus and toolbars. The better you know AutoCAD LT, the more effective you can be with architecture.
Also, architecture does not include the latest features of AutoCAD, such as BIM (Building Information Modeling), drafting, and collaboration. Those features are not yet included in LT.
Other reasons to use architecture:
You need to learn AutoCAD well enough to work on large projects, including BIM. LT is sufficient for smaller projects.
You may need to work with AutoCAD on the Windows platform, while you are a Linux user.
You may need to work with AutoCAD from the office while you are working from home, on a laptop.
You need to import and export projects, something LT does not do.
You may need to import the latest AutoCAD files into LT. Architecture is not updated frequently, so you need to download the latest architecture installer.

AutoCAD supports SQL databases. An early DBMS, MICROSOFT SQL SERVER, was released as a resident add-on, allowing for the integration of external databases. SQL SERVER is a dedicated database software developed and distributed by Microsoft, which runs on the Microsoft Windows platform. Microsoft SQL Server is an advanced database management system (DBMS). It is a proprietary product, intended for use on Microsoft Windows. It was designed with scalability and availability in mind, as a system for processing large volumes of data. AutoCAD’s SQL integration is found in several items, such as custom query builders, scripting, and user interfaces. The database software supports a variety of data types, including numbers, text, lists and 2-dimensional raster (pixel) images. As with most DBMSs, AutoCAD SQL Database provides an object-oriented programming interface, called T-SQL. AutoCAD has a large number of tools for writing T-SQL, ranging from simple subroutines to complex stored procedures. It also provides a variety of tools for querying and reporting on the data, such as data-driven tables, linked reports, and free-form reports. AutoCAD’s ability to store, retrieve, and process large amounts of data allows it to work well in large organizations with large project files. This makes it well suited for engineering and construction documentation projects.
AutoCAD has the ability to import and export images, including raster images, and ASCII text. The export includes the ability to color-code and map objects as required. AutoCAD also supports a large variety of coordinate systems, allowing users to easily work with several different types of documents and specifications. It also provides the ability to draw to scale, or to automatically scale to certain point sizes. It includes an automatic laster, or ruler, function.
 AutoCAD supports 3D CAD file formats. AutoCAD supports the exchange of 3D CAD files through DWG (Drawing) file format, either standard or extended. AutoCAD is capable of opening and viewing 3D CAD files from all major CAD systems. The ability to open and view 3D CAD files from other systems was introduced in AutoCAD 2009. The DWG file format is the most widely used in the 3D CAD industry. The original AutoCAD was the first CAD system to support DWG. DWG is an ISO standard, ISO 10274-1 and -2, and the most widely used
