Through a high level of technical innovation and expertise, Autodesk has created a program with unequaled features and capabilities, including 3D surface and solid modeling and visualization, access to external databases, intelligent dimensioning, importing and exporting of other file formats, Internet support, and much more. Autodesk has developed what it calls a virtual corporation. This “corporation” includes programmers who create software designed to work with AutoCAD (called third-party software), dealers (also called resellers) who provide technical support and training specific to a user’s field, and an education network that provides training and courses to more than one million users each. | 4 Part I AutoCAD Basics Through a high level of technical innovation and expertise Autodesk has created a program with unequaled features and capabilities including 3D surface and solid modeling and visualization access to external databases intelligent dimensioning importing and exporting of other file formats Internet support and much more.
