Whois & Analysis for freecadblock.com

AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application.

Developed and marketed by Autodesk, AutoCAD was first released in December 1982 as a desktop app running on microcomputers with internal graphics controllers.

Prior to the introduction of AutoCAD, most commercial CAD programs ran on mainframe computers or minicomputers, with each CAD operator (user) working at a separate graphics terminal.

Since 2010, AutoCAD was released as a mobile- and web app as well, marketed as AutoCAD 360.

DWG (from drawing) is a proprietary binary file format used for storing two- and three- dimensional design data and metadata.

It is the native format for several CAD packages including DraftSight, AutoCAD, IntelliCAD (and its variants), Caddie and Open Design Alliance compliant applications.

In addition, DWG is supported non-natively by many other CAD applications.

The.bak (drawing backup).dws (drawing standards).dwt (drawing template) and.sv$ (temporary automatic save) files are also DWG files.

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems (or) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.

CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing.

CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations.

The term CADD (for Computer Aided Design and Drafting) is also used.

A file format is a standard way that information is encoded for storage in a computer file.

It specifies how bits are used to encode information in a digital storage medium.

File formats may be either proprietary or free and may be either unpublished or open.

A computer file is a computer resource for recording data discretely in a computer storage device.

Just as words can be written to paper, so can information be written to a computer file.
