AutoCAD adalah sebuah program yang berguna untuk menggambar 2Dimensi dan 3Dimensi yang dikembangkan oleh Autodesk, dirilis pertama kali pada bulan Desember 1982
Software semacam ini banyak digunakan oleh para insinyur sipil, land developers, arsitek, insinyur mesin, desainer interior dan lain-lain.
Autodesk juga mengembangkan beberapa program vertikal dari AutoCAD yaitu:
- AutoCAD Architecture (sebelumnya disebut Architectural Desktop), memungkinkan arsitek untuk menggambar obyek 3 dimensi dari tembok, pintu, jendela,dll. Data bisa diprogram untuk menampilkan produk arsitektural secara spesifik yang dijual dipasaran lengkap dengan harga dan merek obyek tersebut.
- AutoCAD Mechanical untuk insinyur teknik mesin,
- AutoCAD Electricaluntuk insinyur teknik elektro, AutoCAD Civil 3D (untuk insinyur teknik sipil),
- AutoCAD Map 3D (peta).
