AutoCAD is a CAD software application for 2D and 3D design and drafting, developed and sold by Autodesk, Inc. Initially released in late 1982, AutoCAD was one of the first CAD programs to run on personal computers, and notably the IBM PC. Most CAD software at the time ran on graphics terminals connected to mainframe computers or mini-computers. In earlier releases, AutoCAD used primitive entities ? such as lines, polylines, circles, arcs, and text ? as the foundation for more complex objects. Since the mid-1990s, AutoCAD has supported custom objects through its C API. Modern AutoCAD includes a full set of basic solid modeling and 3D tools, but lacks some of the more advanced capabilities of solid modeling applications.
