AutoCAD is used for 2D and 3D computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) and is the leading software in the world for design work in numerous industries. First developed by Autodesk in 1982, the program is used in electrical work, manufacturing, product design, construction, mechanical engineering and even in entertainment. CAD has been utilized for the complex designs of airplanes, cars, watches and industrial machinery.

Users of AutoCAD have the ability to create detailed diagrams and digital models of virtually anything, from a hotel room to a microchip. The multi-layered representations allow architects and engineers to remove sections, zoom in or color code parts to denote different design materials. The option to rend the design in 3D gives users the ability to rotate and draw the object from every angle, rather than having to pencil multiple sketches on paper.

While CAD is taught in most design courses, the unique details of AutoCAD are often not covered extensively. Special training seminars offered by TrainUp give designers the ability to learn the intimate details of the program. These classes are excellent for beginners or veteran users and cover a variety of topics, such as basic drawing, 3D rendering, centering and dimensioning. Learning more about this highly popular software can give a designer in any industry an edge in the job market.
