AutoCAD is a comprehensive and powerful general-purpose CAD
application that includes an extensive repertoire of tools
for 2D drafting and documentation, with some added capabilities
for 3D modeling and rendering.

Continues to be the de facto industry standard for 2D CAD;
interface enhanced with a new dynamic input functionality that
makes the command line optional for the first time in the
application's 20 year old history; dynamic blocks allow multiple
symbol representations within the same block, dramatically reducing
the number of block libraries needed; attribute data can be directly
extracted into tables in which simple math calculations can be done;
several other improvements in annotation, hatching, interface, element
creation and modification, and customization.

Pricey compared with other drafting applications; no improvements in
3D modeling and rendering capabilities, which remain sub-standard.
