INTRODUCTION ABOUT
AUTOCAD
• AutoCAD is one of the most popular and widely used three-dimensional
engineering drawing and design programs in the world. This program was developed
by the leading design software company Autodesk Autodesk. AutoCAD is widely
used in many engineering fields such as Architecture, Civil Engineering, Mechanical
Engineering, and others. This program features a set of advanced features that make
it a powerful and effective tool for engineering design.

• The roots of AutoCAD go back to the seventies of the last century, when the
company Autodesk began to develop a program for drawing using a computer. Since
then, the program has undergone many updates and improvements to keep abreast
of technological developments and increasing user requirements.
DEFINITION AUTOCAD

• AutoCAD is a computer-aided engineering drawing program produced by the

company Autodesk (Autodesk). One of the most popular and widely used
engineering drawing software in the world, AutoCAD is an industry standard in
various engineering fields.

• It is an abbreviation for" Auto Computer-Aided Design " and means automated

computer-aided design. This program was developed by the leading American
company Autodesk Autodesk in the field of engineering design and drawing
software.

• Collaborative work: AutoCAD allows you to work collaboratively with the team,
where files and edits can be easily shared and work on the same project at the
same time.
