AutoCAD is a computer-aided design and drafting software application first released by Autodesk in December 1982, notable as one of the first significant CAD programs to run on personal computers rather than mainframes or dedicated CAD workstations. It became the standard drafting tool across architecture, engineering and construction for decades, helping establish the digital vector-drawing (.dwg) file format still widely used in those industries today.
