AutoCAD is the original CAD software used by millions around the world. It can be used to create precise 2D and 3D drawings and models, as well as electrical diagrams, construction drawings, and more.

AutoCAD is used in various industries. Even though it was originally created for use in the architectural and construction industry, it is now used in multiple verticals and applications.
Architectural Design

Architects primarily use AutoCAD to prepare floor plans, blueprints, and building designs. Since these plans are drawn to scale and are generally very precise, AutoCAD makes it easy for architects to bring their vision to life without sacrificing dimensional accuracy.
AutoCAD also allows designers to review granular data about a building design, helping them identify weaknesses in the design and rectifying them before construction begins.
Interior Designers

AutoCAD is commonly used by interior designers who prefer creating 3D versions of their interior designs. AutoCAD allows interior designers to create realistic 3D models of spaces, offering support for solid, surface, and mesh models.
3D viewing and navigation tools are also available, supporting swivel, walk, or fly-around views, so interior designers can really showcase their designs and present them how they want.
AutoCAD also supports rendering, allowing designers to apply lighting and unique materials to give their 3D models a more realistic and stylish appearance. And, cloud rendering is also supported, so it's not necessary to own a powerful laptop that supports 3D modeling software either.
Mechanical Engineers
Even though AutoCAD is mainly designed for architects and designers, mechanical engineers also use it quite frequently to prepare visuals that aid their work. Mechanical engineers use AutoCAD to prepare specific models and blueprints related to different products.
Fashion Designers
This might come as a surprise to some, but fashion designers also use AutoCAD. It's one of the best productivity tools for fashion designers, allowing them to prepare detailed sketches, patterns, and designs more accurately.
Furthermore, fashion designers can also create different iterations of a single design, and since AutoCAD preserves the dimensions for future reference, designers can apply them to different materials and patterns.
