AutoCAD professional design and drafting software is used in architecture, construction, engineering and manufacturing.
Drafting software replaces the paper, pencil, T-squares and rubber crumbs of a previous generation with a computer screen and a mouse. With it, designers can create technical documentation for products, buildings and structures quickly and easily and focus more on concept and creativity, instead of computation and clutter.
