Overview of AutoCAD
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 developed and marketed by Autodesk.Prior to the introduction of AutoCAD, most commercial CAD programs ran on mainframe computers or mini computers. AutoCAD is used across in wide range of industries, architects, project managers, Mechanical/civil/electrical /Electronics engineers, graphic designers, and other professionals.History of AutoCAD was derived from a program called Interact CAD, also referred to in early Autodesk documents as MicroCAD, which was written prior to Autodesk's (then Marinchip Software Partners) formation by Autodesk cofounder Mike Riddle.AutoCAD Updates
The 2016 release marked the 30th major release of AutoCAD for Windows.The native file format of AutoCAD is.dwg and its interchange file format DXF, have become proprietary, standards for CAD data interoperability particularly for 2D drawing exchange. Autodesk's logo and respectively, AutoCAD icons have changed for several versions through the years. It is supported by more than 750 Authorised training centers (ATC)worldwide.
Many organisations provide training on Autodesk software,but only the Autodesk Authorised Training centres(ATC) sites have met Autodesk's rigorous standards of excellence.ATC sites around the world offer a variety of courses and many can help you prepare for an Autodesk Certification.At an Autodesk Authorized Training Center(ATC)you can Learn from highly qualified instructors at superior facilities.Develop your skills with sample projects and exercises that emphasize real-world applications.Earn a valuable certificate of completion that’s recognized in your profession. Validate your product knowledge by getting Autodesk Certified when you take a certification exam at a participating ATC test delivery facility.Student versions of AutoCAD
