History
 Autodesk was founded in 1982 by John Walker, a coauthor of early 
versions of the company's flagship CAD software product AutoCAD, and 
twelve others. It is headquartered in San Rafael, California.
 Autodesk's first notable product was AutoCAD, a CAD application 
designed to run on the systems known as "microcomputers" at the time, 
including those running the 8-bit CP/M operating system and two of the 
new 16-bit systems, the Victor 9000 and the IBM Personal Computer (PC). 
This CAD tool allowed users to create detailed technical drawings, and was 
affordable to many smaller design, engineering, and architecture 
companies.

Introduction
◘ AutoCAD is a software application for computer-aided design 
(CAD) and drafting. The software supports both 2D and 3D formats. The software is 
developed and sold by Autodesk, Inc. 
◘ It was first released in December 1982 by Autodesk in the year by Autodesk 
founder John Walker. AutoCAD is Autodesk's flagship product and by March 1986 had 
become the most ubiquitous microcomputer design program in the world, utilizing 
functions such as "polylines" and "curve fitting". Prior to the introduction of AutoCAD, 
most other CAD programs ran on mainframe computers or minicomputers, with each 
CAD operator (user) working at a graphical terminal or workstation.
◘ According to Autodesk company information, the AutoCAD software is now 
used in a range of industries, employed by architects, project managers and engineers, 
amongst other professions, and training centers had been established across the world 
to educate users about the company's primary products.
