AUTO CAD Definition - What does AutoCAD mean? AutoCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) program used for 2-D and 3-D design and drafting. AutoCAD is developed and marketed by Autodesk Inc. and was one of the first CAD programs that could be executed on personal computers.
Training Programs Training in AutoCAD software and computer-aided drafting can be found at technical and community colleges, including certificate or associate degree programs in AutoCAD, drafting, or engineering technology. Most of these programs feature courses that focus on the hands-on use of the AutoCAD software package. Some programs may even prepare students for AutoCAD industry certification. Bachelor's degree programs in related fields, such as engineering, may also require students to take AutoCAD courses.
Techopedia Techopedia explains autocad was initially derived from a program called interact, which was written in a proprietary language. The first release of the software used only primitive entities such as polygons, circles, lines, arcs and text to construct complex objects. Later, it came to support custom objects through a C++ application programming interface. The modern version of the software includes a full set of tools for solid modeling and 3-D. AutoCAD also supports numerous application program interfaces for automation and customization. DWG (drawing) is the native file format for AutoCAD and a basic standard for CAD data interoperability. The software has also provided support for design web format (DWF), a format developed by Autodesk for publishing CAD data. explains AutoCAD AutoCAD
