The software supports both 2D and 3D
formats. The software is developed and sold
by Autodesk, Inc.,[1 first released in December
1982 by Autodesk in the year following the
purchase of the first form of the software by
Autodesk founder, John Walker. AutoCAD is
Autodesk's flagship product and by March
1986 had become the most
ubiquitousmicrocomputer design program in
the world, utilizing functions such as "polylines" and "curve fitting".[2] Prior to the introduction of AutoCAD, most other CAD programs ran on mainframe computers or minicomputers, with each user's unit connected to a graphics computer terminal.[citation needed]
According to its own company information, Autodesk states
that the AutoCAD software is now used in a range of
industries, employed by architects, project managers and
