AutoCAD is a program used to create drawings.

used in many industries, including architecture, engineering, construction and interior design

allows the user to create 2D and 3D drawings using visualization and technical documentation

increases productivity in manufacturing and design, replacing the need for manual drawings and designs. For example it can be used to draw parts (in the case of Automotive Engineering) or a site plan (in the case of a Garden Designer).

Its purpose is to convey ideas from the designer to those that will execute the design.
