General Purpose CAD

AutoCAD software is the industry leader, delivering features to increase speed and accuracy while saving time. It is also the world’s leading customisable and extendable CAD application - an application that with each new release increases in power, features and usability.

Despite its categorisation as "general purpose", depending on its version it provides powerful features for design from concept to detailing, for design in 3D, for rendering and walkthroughs, for sophisticated annotation, for linking with external data (Excel) and many more capabilities that go beyond what might be expected from a basic drafting tool.
