AutoCAD

• AutoCAD is a computer-aided design (thus, the
  name "CAD") program. It was created by Autodesk,
  a company that primarily produces software and
  solutions for industries such as architecture,
  engineering, product design, manufacturing,
  construction, and more.

What Is AutoCAD Used For?

• AutoCAD is used in various industries. Even
  though it was originally created for use in the
  architectural and construction industry, it is
  now used in multiple verticals and applications.
• Architects primarily use AutoCAD to prepare floor
  plans, blueprints, and building designs. Since
  these plans are drawn to scale and are generally
  very precise, AutoCAD makes it easy for
  architects to bring their vision to life without
  sacrificing dimensional accuracy

Features in AutoCAD

• Mobile and Web Apps
• Since it works in the cloud, AutoCAD allows
  users to work across devices, making it easy to
  create, edit, and view drawings from either the
  mobile app or their web app. This allows for
  greater freedom and makes collaboration much
  easier, especially amongst distributed teams.
• Faster and More Efficient Workflows
• AutoCAD lets you share controlled copies of
  your drawing to teammates, allowing them to leave
  feedback. It supports markup, and there's also an
  engaging My Insights feature that gives users
  helpful tips about their projects.

 AutoCAD Works

• The native file type is DWG, which saves images,
  geometrical data, and design information. You can
  also add blocks, which are essentially building
  elements, from a separate library.
• Blocks include simple furniture types to more
  complex designs like woodworking structures or
  staircases. Most designers generally prefer using
  blocks as it saves time. There are dedicated
  themed libraries available that designers often
  use for drawing up their designs.
