AutoCAD is a commercial CAD (computer-aided design) software application. In contrast to a hobbyist's do-it-yourself project, CAD allows a designer to make architectural plans, mechanical and electrical schematics, and precision drawings. AutoCAD contains a library of geometric objects, 2D and 3D, which designers can add to their drawings. Version history Development Autodesk purchased the original Acorn Computers for CAD in December 1983, and released AutoCAD in 1984. The first version, AutoCAD 1.0, released on December 10, 1984, is widely recognized as the first version of AutoCAD. It was priced at $895 at the time. In 1986, the name "Autocad" was registered by the company as a trademark in the United States. In 1991, the company acquired Alias Science for CAD technology, and released AutoCAD LT, the first version based on the Adobe PostScript laser printer. The first LT licensees were Richard Porter and Dennis Shasha of Oxford Scientific Ltd. In 1999, the company released AutoCAD 2000, which replaced many of the earlier sub-dialogs, and introduced a new look for the interface. AutoCAD 2000 was the first version of AutoCAD to support the Windows XP operating system. AutoCAD LT was discontinued in 1999. In 2000, AutoCAD 2003 was released for Windows NT and Windows 2000. In 2003, Autodesk introduced the concept of the "SketchBook" into AutoCAD by integrating the ribbon interface into the user interface. In 2005, Autodesk announced AutoCAD 2007, which included many new features, such as 3D modeling tools. AutoCAD 2007 also introduced native support for Windows Vista and Windows XP. AutoCAD 2007 is based on the new code-named Metapost project, which, besides supporting the creation of 3D drawings, also introduced a new, vector-based representation for 2D drawings, called "metaballs". In 2011, Autodesk released AutoCAD 2012, which introduced a new user interface that uses the ribbon concept as well as a very flat, contemporary design, and it is AutoCAD's first release to support 64-bit operating systems. In 2012, Autodesk released AutoCAD 2013, which includes a new feature called "SmartDraw". The new software aims to help users and professionals
ObjectARX is a third-party class library that has been built into AutoCAD Crack Keygen 2010 and AutoCAD 2022 Crack LT. It was also a base for many applications that extend AutoCAD Crack Mac functionality. It provides a set of classes that are similar to the.NET Framework. The language syntax is similar to VB.NET. In addition, ObjectARX allows users to build applications using standard C++ constructs (not just class objects and methods). ObjectARX provides many classes and classes similar to those in.NET Framework, such as: IOleClientSite, IOleCommandTarget, IOleInPlaceActiveObject, IOleInPlaceSite, IOleInPlaceSite2, IOleInPlaceFrame, IOleInPlaceSiteWindowlessControl, IOleInPlaceUIObject, IOleClientSiteWindowlessControl, IContextMenu, IUnknown, IOleCommandTargetWindowlessControl, IActiveScriptError, IActiveScriptError2, IPersistFile, IExtendedFormatCatalog, IFormatCatalog, IDWriteFont, IDWriteGlyphRun, IDWriteTextFormat, IDWriteTransform, IDWriteTextLayout, IDWriteTextLayout2, IDWriteTextFormat2, IDWriteTextLayout2, IAnimation, IAnimationInterpolation, IAnimationSet, ID2D1SimpleLineGeometry, IBrush, ID2D1RenderTarget, IClipCaps, ID2D1Direct2DResources, ID2D1DeviceContext, ID2D1PathGeometry, ID2D1RenderTargetView, ID2D1RenderTargetView1, ID2D1RenderTarget2, IEnumLineSegments, IEnumLines, IFile, IBitmap, IBitmapLockMode, IBitmapPaletteType, IBitmapPaletteFlags, IBitmapPalette, IBitmapPalette4, IBitmapPalette8, IBitmapPalette32, IBitmapPaletteAlpha, IBitmapPaletteRGBA, IBitmapPaletteRGBA8, IBitmapPaletteRGBA32, IBitmapPaletteRGBA32F, IBitmapPaletteGray, IBitmapPaletteGray8, IBitmapPaletteGray32, IBitmapPaletteGray32F, IBitmapPaletteGrayAlpha, IBitmapPaletteGrayAlpha8, IBitmapPaletteGrayAlpha32, IBit e315de8065
== Instructions for Autocad I won't write the complete installer steps because the information can be found in Autocad Help. == For Autocad 2014 R16 == For Autocad 2015 R16 This is a version of Autocad for Win 7 only because the new Application-types need a newer version of the.NET Framework. You can download the.NET Framework from here: 1. Use the Win 7 installer (Autocad-win7_x86.exe) This creates Autocad, the application files and the registration folder in C:\Program Files (folder created for all users) -> When the Setup is completed, you can start the Autocad application. The menu entry looks like this:
Import and edit drawings in a new graphical environment. Import CAD models and import 2D or 3D models as graphics. Edit and annotate with the free AutoCAD® Editor. This new environment makes it easy to create, store and share a repository of content as a single cohesive design. Improvements in Office Link With AutoCAD® 2017, we brought Office Link to Windows 10. This helped make AutoCAD much more accessible and easy to use by Office users on the Windows platform. With Office Link, it was possible for users to connect their AutoCAD drawings to a wide range of Office apps, including Excel, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and OneNote. Now, Office Link gives users an even wider variety of Office apps that can connect to AutoCAD: Word and Excel: Keep track of edits in an existing AutoCAD drawing or create a new drawing based on a spreadsheet or presentation.
