Install AutoCAD

Install AutoCAD

Introduction to Installation of AutoCAD

AutoCAD is a Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) software application built by Autodesk. It helps to create both 2D (Two dimensional) and 3D( Three-Dimensional) models of solid as well as mesh surfaces which helps engineers, architects, drafters, and other designing professionals to design the models instead of using manual hand drafting tools like pencils, rulers, compasses, drafting boards, etc. These conventional methods are time-consuming as well as not accurate. AutoCAD released in 1982; since then, it is used widely because of its accuracy, robust features, and automated drafting tools. AutoCAD helps you design and create the models, transform that model into 3D model renderings, and create animated presentations.

AutoCAD provides many built-in layouts for users. This built-in layout contains various types of templates that are used for architecture planning and constructing buildings. In this article, we are going to see the steps to install AutoCAD on the windows system so that we can use that to create designs.

How to Install AutoCAD on Windows?
