AUTO CAD==>> Automatic Computer Aided Design
It is useful for building construction to draw 3D view of buildings parts in computer...
AutoCAD 2010 allows the use of over 300 tools. Some operators prefer using the word “ commands ” , although command as an alternative to tool is not in common use today. The abbreviations for tools which can be abbreviated are included in brackets after the tool name. Tool names can be entered in upper or lower case.
2D and 3D both work can be done in AUTOCAD
