Using a computer program to create 2D and 3D models and draft blueprints instead of doing everything with pen and paper? To engineers, architects, and designers, it sounded like a dream come true.Īnd the truly impressive part is the level of commitment Autodesk has to this project. So, what makes AutoCAD software so special? When it first appeared, it was nothing short of revolutionary. And by the looks of it, it will be a while before some other software takes its place. Yet, several decades and many versions later, AutoCAD is still every designer’s and architect’s favorite program.
When Autodesk first released its new design and drafting software AutoCAD in 1982, no one expected it would become as big as it did.
