AutoCAD is
a software application for computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting, in
both 2D and 3D formats.
The software product is developed and sold by Autodesk, Inc., the
largest design automation company in the world, the headquarters of which are
located in the Californian city of Sausalito. First released in December 1982
by Autodesk in
the year following the purchase of the first form of the software by Autodesk
founder, John Walker.
AutoCAD is Autodesk's flagship product and by March 1986 had become the most ubiquitous microcomputer design program in the world, utilizing functions such as "polylines" and "curve fitting". Prior to the introduction of AutoCAD, most other CAD programs ran on mainframe computers or minicomputers, with each user's unit connected to a graphics computer terminal.
