Auto CAD is a CAD (Computer Aided Design) software application
for 2D and 3D design and drafting, developed and sold by Autodesk,
Inc.Auto CAD was released in late 1982, it was one of the notably
the IBM PC. Most CAD software at the time ran on graphics terminals
connected to mainframe computers or mini-computers.
Autodesk is a world leader in design innovation technology.They
product and service help customers design better by enabling them
to create digital models and workflows, which help them to
experience-and improve their ideas before they are real.One of
their biggest reason for design is that they are able to
collaborate into the large community that this world has become,
allowing technology to be part of design and been used too meet
those challenges.
AutoCAD Mechanical software is AutoCAD for
manufacturingPurpose-built to accelerate the mechanical design
process while preserving the AutoCAD user experience. With
comprehensive libraries of standards-based parts and tools for
automating common design tasks, it offers significant productivity
gains over basic AutoCAD software and saves countless hours of
design time.
AutoCAD Electrical is AutoCAD software for control systems
designers, purpose-built to create and modify electrical control
systems. Automated tasks and comprehensive symbol libraries help to
increase productivity, eliminate errors, and provide accurate
information to manufacturing. AutoCAD Electrical delivers the tools
needed to design control systems quickly and accurately with
significant cost savings.

Every day, millions of building design professionals use
Autodesk architectural software products, services, and
solutions.
At Autodesk, they provide the tools and technology they need to
bring design ideas to life. From industry-leading design and
drafting software to the platform for building information
modeling, Autodesk provides a robust set of architecture software
solutions that help them improve productivity, deliver innovative
design ideas, and manage change throughout the project
lifecycle.
Autodesk construction solutions enable architecture,
engineering, and construction firms to use digital design data and
content across their extended teams.
By leveraging the power of building information modeling (BIM),
architecture, engineering, and construction firms can use
information to perform quantity takeoffs, visualize construction
processes through 4D simulation and clash detection, and optimize
execution in the field.
AutoCAD LT is a scale down version of AutoCAD. It cost less
then ( $1200.00 USD versus around $4,000 USD for the full AutoCAD
).It was develop so Autodesk could have an entry-level CAD package
available to compete in that price class.
AutoCAD Mechanical
AutoCAD Mechanical is the ideal tool to accelerate the mechanical
design process with standards-based libraries of parts and tools
design tasks can be automated effortlessly. AutoCAD Mechanical
provides innovative design and drafting tools that are focused on
ease of use, reduction of errors and increased productivity.
AutoCAD Electrical
AutoCAD Electrical is the leading 2D application built specifically
to create and modify electrical controls designs. AutoCAD
Electrical enables users to increase design productivity, reduce
errors, automate key control systems design tasks and facilitate
collaboration. Stay ahead of the competition with AutoCAD
Electrical, the only logical choice for electrical controls
design.
