CAD software to design anything!
Trusted by Engineers, Architects & other industry-leading professionals around the world.
Overview
Summary
AutoCAD® is computer-aided design (CAD) software that professionals rely on to create precise 2D and 3D drawings. AutoCAD is used in industry, by architects, project managers, engineers, graphic designers, city planners and other professionals to:
- Draft, annotate, and design 2D geometry and 3D models with solids, surfaces, and mesh objects
- Automate tasks such as comparing drawings, adding blocks, creating schedules, and more
- Customize the design process with add-on apps and APIs
