When did autocad come out?
AutoCAD is a commercial software application for 2D and 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting — available since 1982 as a desktop application and since 2010 as a mobile web- and cloud-based app marketed as AutoCAD 360.
What is autocad used for?
AutoCAD is a computer-aided drafting software program used for creating blueprints for buildings, bridges and computer chips. AutoCADis used mainly by drafters, although engineers, surveyors and architects may need to use the software from time to time.
User Interface :
When you first launch the AutoCAD program, you can quickly start new documents, access existing documents, save drawings to the cloud, and more. The Quick Access tool bar and other bars can help you access commands, search the help system, open menus, and find needed options and tools quickly. This online video details all you need to know to successfully explore the user interface in AutoCAD LT 2015.
Scott Onstott has been using AutoCAD for 24 years and has witnessed its evolution into the world-leading application for computer-aided drafting and design. You too can harness its power and start creating detailed CAD drawings, whatever your field: design, architecture, or engineering. In this in-depth course, Scott shows you how to draw precise, measured 2D drawings—the basis of design communication the world over. Then he shows how to create and modify geometry, layers, blocks, attributes, dimensions, and layouts, and finally, how to start sharing your drawings with others.
Topics include:
- Changing workspaces
- Converting drawings to new units
- Drawing lines, circles, splines, polygons, and more
- Moving, copying, rotating, and scaling objects
- Mirroring, lengthening, trimming, and joining objects
- Drawing accurately with coordinates and snapping
- Creating gradients
- Making dimension objects
- Managing object and layer properties
- Reusing content
- Making external references
- Adding annotations
- Packaging and publishing CAD data
