2. 2. ABOUT COMPANY Autodesk Autodesk, Inc.(NASDAQ: ADSK) is a software and services company for the manufacturing, infrastructure, building, media and entertainment, and wireless data services fields. Autodesk was founded by John Walker and twelve other co-founders in 1982. Over its history, it has had various locations in Marin County, California, USA. It is currently headquartered in San Rafael, California.
3. 3. ABOUT SOFTWARE AutoCADis a CAD software application for 2D and 3D design and drafting, developed and sold by Autodesk, Inc. Initially released in late 1982, AutoCAD was one of the first CAD programs to run on personal computers, and notably the IBM PC. Most CAD software at the time ran on graphics terminals connected to mainframe computers or mini-computers
4. 4. System Requirements The system requirements for 32-bit AutoCAD:Intel Pentium 4 processor, 2.2 GHz RecommendedMicrosoft Windows Vista, Windows XP Home and Professional (SP2), Windows 2000 (SP4)512 MB RAM750 MB free disk space for installation1024x768 VGA with True ColorMicrosoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (SP1 or higher) Available on CD (Worldwide) and DVD (select countries and languages)
5. 5. The System requirements for Windows Vista or 3D modeling (32 and 64-bit AutoCAD) 3.0 GHz or greater2 GB RAM or greater2 GB free hard disk available not including installation1280 x 1024 32-bit color video display adapter (True Color) 128 MB or greater, OpenGL, or Direct3D capable workstation class graphics card.For Windows Vista, a Direct3D capable workstation class graphics card with 128 MB or greater is required.
6. 6. NEW 3D FEATURES New 3D Workspace environment New render engine, materials, lights & cameras Interactive 3D shapes (real-time drag and draw) Sub-object editing (face, edge, vertex & boolean history) Grip-edit nodes for 3D AutoCAD objects Dynamic UCS or DUCS (temporarily switch to 3d face) Extrude objects (convert any 2D object into a surface) Enhanced visual objects Polysolid object (3d solid relative of a polyline) New SWEEP command (extrude along a path) New LOFT command (enhanced curved shapes) New PRESSPULL (isolates regions punch / extrude) New SURFACE command (From slice command)
7. 7. NEW 2D FEATURES DWF underlay (attach DWF files and use them like xrefs) Layer express tools (added to AutoCAD Format menu) New 2007 DWG format (drawings load faster) Tables enhancements (spreadsheet functionality) CUI enhancements (custom user interface) Rollover Highlighting (selection pre viewer) DWG recovery enhancements Dynamic blocks (change block during insertion) Enhanced Mtext (edit without going into a window) Hatching improvements Enhanced wall dimensioning Calculations (Quick Calc) in dialog boxes, pallets & more Direct Printing to PDF (export drawing to a PDF file)

20. 20. DISCOUNT AutoCAD is licensed at a significant discount over commercial retail pricing to qualifying students and teachers, ersion Dwith both a 14 month and perpetual license available. The student version of AutoCAD is functionally identical to the full commercial version, with one exception: DWG files created or edited by a student version have an internal bit-flag set (the "educational flag"). When such a DWG file is printed by any version of AutoCAD (commercial or student), the output will include a plot stamp / banner on all four sides. Objects created in the Student Version cannot be used for commercial use. These Student Version objects can and will 'infect' a commercial version DWG file if imported.
