Can you believe AutoCAD has been around for 25 years? Like many of you, I’ve been using it for most of those 25 years. My first experience with AutoCAD was in a college drafting class 21 years ago. Using a stylus, I drew an ellipse and watched it move and stretch on the monochrome screen… right in front of my eyes! How cool was that??? No lead. No ruler. And, best of all, no eraser crumbs!!! Ahhh… that is when I fell in love with AutoCAD (Okay… go ahead. Laugh!)
AutoCAD has come a long way in the past two and half decades! From the stylus to a wireless wheel mouse. From monochrome to True Color. From the screen menu to the dashboard. From 2D to 3D. The list goes on and on. To honor AutoCAD’s past 25 years of design innovation, Autodesk has created an interactive Web site were you can learn more about the history of AutoCAD and take a stroll down memory lane. You can view the AutoCAD timeline, test your knowledge of AutoCAD history, download podcasts from customers that have relied on AutoCAD to grow their businesses, and view the AutoCAD “family tree”.
