4.  AutoCAD was developed by Autodesk.
 AutoCAD is system software which supports both 2
Dimensional(2D) and 3 Dimensional (3D) formats.
 Bridges the gap between imagination and implementation,
as designs can be created, modified, and optimized in
electronic form.

5. Characteristics of AutoCAD
The use of AutoCAD software provides enhanced graphic
capabilities which allow the designers to:
1. Conceptualization of Ideas using AutoCAD
2. Easy modification of the engineering designs
3. Perform design calculations quickly
4. Use colures, fonts, textures, and other aesthetic features
5. Know your product’s strength using simulations

7. Brief History of AutoCAD
In the early 1980s the kinds of Computer Aided designs(CAD)
techniques provided by AutoCAD were available only to
personnel belonging to Specialize Graphics Terminals.
However, the release of the first AutoCAD version accord the
drafters to access to a tool that could use on standard
computers.

8. Versions of AutoCAD
