Autodesk AutoCAD 1 Year License(Global)

Autodesk AutoCAD is a professional 2D and 3D computer aided design (CAD) and drafting software used by engineers, architects, designers, drafters, and other professionals around the world to create precise drawings, technical plans, models, and documentation. It supports advanced drafting tools, intelligent annotation, industry specific toolsets, and modern automation features that improve productivity and accuracy in engineering, construction, manufacturing and architectural workflows. AutoCAD subscriptions also include access to the AutoCAD Web and Mobile apps for viewing and editing drawings on the go.
AutoCAD is available for Windows and macOS, and can work with a wide range of file formats including the DWG native format, DXF, DWF, PDF and more.

Key Features
2D Drafting & Documentation
Precise line work and dimensioning tools for creating and editing detailed 2D drawings.
Dynamic blocks and parametric constraints for reusable design elements.
Layer control, annotation scaling, tables, and detailed text formatting.

3D Modeling & Visualization
Tools to build, edit and visualize 3D geometry using solids, surfaces, and meshes.
Visual styles and real-time rendering to review design intent.

Automation & Productivity
Automation for repetitive drafting tasks and smart design updates.
Customisable tool palettes, macros, and LISP/automation support.

Industry Specific Toolsets
Access specialised toolsets (e.g., architecture, mechanical, electrical, civil) included with many subscriptions for domain specific workflows and standards.

Collaboration & Cloud Connectivity
Work with DWG files across desktop, web and mobile.
Support for shared views, version history and cloud storage integration.

Interoperability
Import/export support for various CAD formats to integrate with BIM, GIS and CAM workflows.

System Requirements
AutoCAD’s requirements vary by platform and version, but below are current (2025/2026) minimum and recommended specs based on Autodesk’s published guidance for AutoCAD 2026, which reflects typical modern installations.

Windows
Minimum Requirements (Entry-Level)
Operating System: 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11.
Processor: 2.5 – 2.9 GHz (base).
Memory (RAM): 8 GB.
Graphics Card: Dedicated GPU with 2 GB VRAM, DirectX 11 compliant.
Display: 1920 × 1080 True Color.
